Question
It has become a practice in the Muslim community to celebrate the birth of the first child in a hall. Women also participate. They argue that separate ladies facilities are arranged. Is this practice permissible?
Answer
The practice of celebrating the birth of the first child even if it is in a house is bid'ah and haraam. It is a new shaitaani innovation. This mal-oon (accursed) shaitaani bid'ah is aggravated by having it in a hall, and its evil is further compounded with women emerging from their homes to enter into the public domain. The socalled separate facilities is in fact a ploy of shaitaan to dupe the moron women.
When their emergence for even Salaat in the Musjid is not permissible, how can their emergence and participation for an evil, haraam innovation be permissible?
Israaf, riya, takabbur and imitating kuffaar are additional haraam aggravating factors. This practice is evil from beginning to end.
