QUESTION
A “SPRING FAIR” is being organized at the Malabar community centre on 2nd October 2021. People are asking questions regarding the permissibility of this spring fair. Some molvis say that it is permissible, and that it is the responsibility of the organizers to ensure that sin is not committed. Some of the stalls listed are make-up stalls, hair threading and mendhi.
There will also be the fun practices such as balloon and jumping castles, massage and aroma therapy, etc., etc. Can this spring fair be permissible? Please comment.
ANSWER AND COMMENTS
To understand the evil, immorality and hurmat of this HARAAM ‘spring fair’, there is no need to proffer Shar’i academic and technical dalai-il (arguments/proofs). The only requisites necessary for understanding that this ‘spring fair’ is haraam are sound Imaan and a little brains.
It is not permissible to participate in any way whatsoever in this haraam merrymaking, money-making function of Iblees.
