April fools day
Question
In our country, east India region peoples believe that on 1st April the Christian army burned Muslims in Spain. Is that story true or false?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
We are unaware of the authenticity of this report.
In any event, we do not accord any importance in celebrating or otherwise, to the 1st of April.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
