It is KUFR to wish Kuffaar a ‘Happy’ festive celebration be it Christmas, New Year, Easter, Diwali or any of their religious festive day.
Our pious and senior Ulama-e-Haq have said, “To be happy with Fisq (disobedience), one becomes part of the Fisq. To be happy with Kufr, one becomes part of the Kufr.”

All such mass messes are Bid’ah. All the points above are Haraam. It is Haraam to attend all such mass events. The Haraam is further aggravated by Muslim and non-Muslim women partaking in such Haraam; by non-Muslims partaking in such events and by dubbing such messes in Islamic Themes – such as using the words ‘zikr’, ‘tahajjud’, ‘du’a’, etc.

One should refer back to Hazrat Ibn Sireen’s statement and understand that at the outset, forget what the topic of the program will be, it is not permissible to join, listen, participate, etc. in his talks and programs.
Are Centenary Celebrations Halaal? QUESTION: Is it permissible for an Islamic organization to host a centenary celebration? ANSWER: Another word…
A person who frequents the churches is a ‘Kaneesah-Waalaa’ – man of the church. What Deen can be expected from such a person? Hence, the Ahle-Kaneesah, such as the MJC in this context, should not be taken as credible in the matters of Deenul-Islaam. We cannot comment on their credibility in Christianity.
