According to the fatwa, the new year starts from January which is the new year of Christians. Christians have a religious belief that they celebrate the first day every year and organize many programs in it. Since it is a purely religious event for Christians, it is illegal for Muslims to celebrate the New Year. Islam strictly prohibits such programs.

In the fatwa, Muslims have been asked not to participate in other religious festivals and to stop other Muslims from doing so. If any person commits such non-Sharia work, he will be considered a big criminal. Muslims should not do anything against Shariat.
