{"_id":"668d9fec0b76658b4c232932","title":"Is World Hijab Day a Bidah?","question":"Is world hijab day Bidah?","answer":"All new things must be assessed in accordance with the Shariah. The mere fact that something is new does not automatically render it unacceptable. The Prophet ﷺ said, in a hadith narrated by our mother Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her):\n\"If someone innovates something which does not have a basis in our religion, that thing is rejected.\"\nTherefore, we cannot dismiss something until we assess whether it has a basis in the religion. As for World Hijab Day, its stated purpose is to \"encourage women of all religions and backgrounds to wear and experience the hijab for a day and to educate and spread awareness on why hijab is worn.\"\nJudging by the organization's stated purpose, their efforts fall within the domain of dawah, involving the dissemination of information about Islam and dispelling misconceptions. This stated purpose undoubtedly finds a basis in the religion.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe60b76658b4c23287a","tag":"Knowledge: Bidah","count":21}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:08.490Z"}
