Mawlid, Deoband and Hanafi fiqh

By Hakim al-Ummah Mawlana Ashraf 'Ali Thanawi
Translated by Hamood Aleem

There are three types of mawlid gatherings and the ruling for each is different.

First Type

The first type of gathering is that which does not contain any of the prevalent and customary restrictions (quyud). Neither [does it contain] mubah (permissible) restrictions nor makruh (prohibitively disliked) ones, i.e., it is free from all [sorts of] restrictions.
