Official News from Arab News on Valentine’s Day
A breakthrough came in 2018 when former Makkah CPVPV President Sheikh Ahmed Qasim Al-Ghamdi declared that Valentine’s Day did not contradict Islamic teaching or doctrine. Celebrating love was universal, and not limited to non-Muslims, he said. (Arab News, 2020)
In the past, people use to get arrested for wrong behavior and manners. Please be careful to not disrespect anyone and do something against the law. There will still be some respect and adoption of Arab culture during the celebrations.
