📄 Sheikh ’Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:
“Celebrating valentine's day is not permissible for various reasons.
The first: It is an innovated festival that has no basis in the Sharī‘ah.
The second: It promotes passion and infatuation.
The third: It calls for hearts to be preoccupied with foolish matters that are contrary to the guidance of the Righteous Predecessors (Salaf As-Saalih), may Allaah be pleased with them.
So it is not permissible on this day to do any of the things that are characteristic of this festival, whether that has to do with food, drinks, clothing, exchanging gifts or anything else. The Muslim must be proud of his religion and must not be a weak character who follows every Tom, Dick and Harry. I ask Allaah, the Most High, to protect the Muslims from all trials, apparent and hidden, and that He guards over us with His care and His aid.”
