Imam Abu ‘Abdillah al-Halimi (338-403), Allah have mercy on him, said:
“A Muslim should not…in any circumstance congratulate a non-Muslim on his Easter, Nowruz, Mehregan (or any other non-Muslim religious festival), nor follow them in showing respect to the occasions that they show respect to.” (al-Minhaj fi Shu‘ab al-Iman, 3:349)
This presentation cites the hadiths and the statements of the sahabah and later scholars relevant to the topic and provides a clear understanding of why this prohibition exists.
