Question:
May Allah be good to you, Your Eminence Shaykh, this questioner says: His father has converted to Islam, and he wants to celebrate his seventieth birthday as is the custom of his people. He asks: Is it permissible for us to assist him in doing that?
Answer:
No, no. Advise him; tell him that this is not permissible. Tell him that this is not permissible and has no basis in the religion. Advise him regarding this.
