Summary
Performing rituals in non-Muslim religious celebrations can cause a person to fall into disbelief. Examples include making offerings at a temple and joining or helping to enliven religious processions. However, Islam does not prohibit attending celebratory activities that are social or family-related, provided there is no element of worship.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Melakukan ritual dalam perayaan agama non muslim boleh menjadikan seseorang itu jatuh kafir seperti memberi persembahan kepada tokong, menyertai dan memeriahkan perarakan keagamaan.
