Good News ; Sheikh Al-Qaradhawi: Muslims May Wish Christians A Happy Holiday

Memri Blog 

Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, head of the International Council of Muslim Clerics, has permitted Muslims to extend greetings to Christians and to other "people of the book" (i.e. Jews) on their holidays.

He said that changes in the global situation have led him to disagree with Sheikh Ibn Taymiyya, who banned such greetings.

Al-Qaradhawi also called to replace the Islamic term ahl al-dhimma (the people of the dhimma) with the term "civilians."
