Some Bid`ahs

Q 5: What is the ruling on the following issues?1- Asking other people in the Masjid (mosque) to recite Al-Fatihah after each obligatory Salah with the intention of seeking a cure for someone 2- Reciting Surah Ya-Sin at home for three days for the sake of the deceased 3- Supplicating loudly while following the funeral procession 4- Celebrating the events of Mawlid (the Prophet's birthday) and Hijrah (Prophet's migration to Al-Madinah) in the Masjid? And:5- Holding a commemoration at the end of the first week of one’s death


A: All these things count as Bid`ah (innovation in religion) which should (Part No. 2; Page No. 210) be abandoned and prohibited. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Anyone who does an action which is not stated in this matter of ours (Islam) will have it rejected. And; Every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is misguidance.
