Imaam adh-Dhahabee [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said:
Verily, Muslim children participating in such festivals
are also effected. Love for these festivals is placed in their hearts because
they find enjoyment in them, dressings up, eating nice food etc.
So how bad is the parent who exposes his children to
this, Oh Muslim!? If you don’t forbid your children then you and they will be
destroyed. They will gain a Kaafir identity (by partaking and gaining love for
their religion).
So it is not permissible for us to partake in celebrating
their festivals and this is something that the Shaytaan has instilled in many
people through their ignorance, to the extent that even the scholars have
become negligent even though they have knowledge, rather, their knowledge is
something harmful to them (i.e. a sin).
