Taking part in the Indian festival ‘Holy’

Question

assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barkathuhu. my question is what is regarding the festival holy, many people say its about prophet ibrahim. something relating to prophet ibrahim..and i have heard from many ppl saying holy relates to the story of ibrahim. n they say to enjoy holy is a biggest sin. so please let me know, thank you

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The celebration called "Holy Festival" is a Hindu celebration which does not have any connection with Prophet Ibraaheem  may  Allaah  exalt  his  mention nor any other Prophet, and it is not permissible to celebrate it.

Allaah Knows best.
