Celebrating the Birth of the Prophet ﷺ (Second Edition)

Is it right to celebrate the birth of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ? Sayyid Muhammad ibn 'Alawi al-Maliki, the late hadith scholar of Makkah, sets out the case that it is. This book is his answer to the question, written from within traditional scholarship.

He presents the proofs for the permissibility of the Mawlid, the celebration of the Prophet ﷺ's birth. He explains the five categories of innovation, and he gathers what leading scholars through the centuries have said about it. Rashad Jameer translated the work, and Imam Ghazali Publishing prints it with English and Arabic.
