1) is it permissible to have special program like 'Seerat Conference' b) Ahmed Deedat is a Mirzai and Munkireen-e-Hadith?
Question
is it permissible to have any special program on this day? like 'Seerat Conference' held in Pakistan by deoband Ulama? Why is this not a bidah? b) I heard from a very prominent mufti that Ahmed Deedat is a Mirzai and Munkireen-e-Hadith, is this true? the mufti is famous in whole of karachi c) is 'loud collective zikr' allowed in any circumstances in a Masjid?
Answer
1. To have programmes on these specific days are not proven through any Dalaail-e-Shari'ah (proof of Shari'ah) and nor were they found at the time of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). However, to have such programmes on these specific days will only be permissible, if; a) It is not regarded as necessary, b) If anybody decides not to participate, he is not reprimanded or looked down upon, and c) The attaining of reward for giving and listening to Bayaans is not restricted to these days only.
If any of the above conditions are not fulfilled, then it will be regarded as Bid'at. (Fatawa Mahmoodiyyah part6 pg.134)
2. Ahmad Deedat is an adherent of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah.
