Fataawa - , The ruling on congratulating non-Muslims on their celebrations

Question:
What is the ruling regarding congratulating non-Muslims on their
holidays and celebrations?
Answer:
It is not permissible for the Muslims to congratulate the Christians
for their holidays and celebrations because this would be cooperation
on that which is sin and transgression. Allaah Says(what means): "
…And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin
and aggression… " [Quran 5: 2]. This also leads to repeated visitation
with them, and indicates solicitation of their love and the acceptance
of who they are and their rites. This is not permissible. It is an
obligation onthe Muslim to show them dislike for they oppose Allaah
and ascribe partners and sons to Him.Allaah Says (what means): "You
will not find a people who believein Allaah and the Last Day having
affection for those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger, even if they
were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred…"
[Quran 58:22] He Almight also Says: " There has already been for you
an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to
theirpeople, 'Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever
you worship other thanAllaah. We have denied you, and there has
appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you
believe in Allaah Alone'…" [Quran 60:4]
Allaah Knows best.
