Our new Musjid is going to have an official opening on 25 March.

Answer

There is no such thing as an 'official opening' for a Musjid. This is a kuffaar practice. The opening of a Musjid is the delivery of the Athaan and the performance of Salaat. That is the all of a Musjid's 'opening'. Nowadays every stupid opportunity is seized for merrymaking, ostentation (riya) and selfaggrandizement.

What was the official opening ceremony for the Musjid of our Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in Madinah? Never was there any 'official' openings for any of the great Musaajid of Islam. The 'dignitaries, muftis and alims' will all be stupid serfs of their nafs and will be basking in riya and takabbur with their speeches designed f o r m a x i m u m s e l f aggrandizement. They will be blowing much hot air and kick up dust about the 'Sunnah', when their very stupid 'opening' ceremony is in conflict with the Shariah. There is no basis in the Sunnah for these kuffaaremulated practices. After all the sound and fury of their speeches, they will indulge in merrymaking feasting with gluttonous fervor, then suffer constipation and heed the summons of the toilet. They are astray and mislead others.

A. While paan is halaal, it is a repugnant habit. Paan is an addiction in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. They render the streets filthy with their paan-spitting all over the show.
