The fatwa reportedly warns: ”Disbelievers are trying to draw Muslims away from the straight path.” It says Christmas Day and associated celebrations are among the ”falsehoods” for a Muslim to avoid. ”Therefore a Muslim is neither allowed to celebrate the Christmas Day nor is he allowed to congratulate [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
