Question
Is it advisable to spend the big nights with relatives in enjoyment and feasting? Some people have this practice on the big nights.
Answer
Spending big nights with families is bid'ah. Big nights should be constructively used in Ibaadat in the privacy of one's home. These nights are not merrymaking occasions. These are occasions to gain nearness to Allah Ta'ala, to reflect on Maut, the Qabr and Qiyaamah. Feasting on these nights is not permissible. Such feasting and enjoyment are shaitaaniyat and nafsaaniyat. It is evil.
