Shaykh Adil al-Kalbani the former Imam of Haram Makkah attending Mawlid Majlis in Makkah al-Mukarramah
Will the rest of the Wahhabis follow...
As they always say we follow Hejaz?
Shaykh Adil al-Kalbani is the former Imam of Haram Makkah who wrote an interesting piece where he questioned the reasoning of the Wahhabi establishment for prohibiting the Mawlid celebrations.
His article in a leading national daily raised alarm bells in the Wahhabi establishment.
In brief he said that it is mere impossible for connecting with the life of the Prophet ﷺ without connecting with the events of his life.
He inquired when will it be a better time to speak about the lineage, blessed birth and childhood other than in Rabi al-Awwal and on the days of his birth?
He thundered that Satan has not just deceived those who do bad things in the commemoration of Mawlid but also those who oppose it in utter madness.
