Celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other religious holidays is Haram. 🧵
Celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or any religious holidays other than the two eids is haram and makes you a kaffir.
“This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.” [5:3]
Ibn ‘Umar (RA) narrated that the messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:

“He who imitates any people (in their actions) is considered to be one of them.”

•Related by Abu Dawud and Ibn Hibban graded it as Sahih. Book 16, Hadith 1514
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“This at the very least indicates that it is haram to imitate them, although the apparent meaning is that the one who imitates them is a kaafir.

“The sheikh was asked: about the ruling on congratulating the kuffar (meant for Christians here) on Christmas? and how to respond to them if they congratulate us with it? and is it permissible to go to the party places they hold these occasions at?
- and is a person sinning if he does something of the aforementioned without intending to? and if they did it as a compliment, or out of shyness, or embarrassment, or any other reason? and is it permissible to imitate them in that?”
“He replied by saying: Congratulating the kuffar on Christmas or any of their religious holidays is haram (prohibited), by consensus.”
“and if they congratulate us on their holidays, we do not respond to that, because they are not holidays for us, and because they are not holidays that Allah is pleased with.”
“and if they congratulate us on their holidays, we do not respond to that, because they are not holidays for us, and because they are not holidays that Allah is pleased with.”
“and if they congratulate us on their holidays, we do not respond to that, because they are not holidays for us, and because they are not holidays that Allah is pleased with.”
“and a Muslim accepting their invitation to these occasions is haram, because that is greater than congratulating them on it, because they’re participating in it.
- It is also prohibited for Muslims to imitate the kuffar by holding parties on this occasion, exchanging gifts, distributing candy, plates of food, or disturbing jobs, and so on. Like the prophet PBUH said: whoever imitates a nation is one of them.”

plus the origins of Christmas is from pagans and has nothing to do with the Bible or Christianity
