Question
In the U.S.A. a body called ICP (Islamic Center of Pittsburgh) celebrated Eidul Adha on Sunday 26 August. Nowhere in the world was Eid on Sunday 26th August. Those countries which follow Saudi Arabia celebrated Eidul Adha on Tuesday, but the ICP had Eid celebration several days later. Is there any validity in the Shariah for such a delay? They also called for donations. Is it permissible to donate to them?
Answer
The ICP of America is a deviate group which is lost in jahaalat, hence they schemed their merrymaking haraam function on Sunday 26th August. Their functions was nothing but a celebration of haraam which these juhala dubbed, 'Eidul Adha'. Donating for haraam functions and for a group of juhala is haraam.
