Religious Events: Ruling on the Reported Merits of Nawrūz and Worship on That Day

English:

Question #1457:

Is there any truth in what has been reported of the lofty position of the Day of Nawrūz and the great reward that could be reaped for engaging in acts of worship on that day? Is it permissible to engage in these acts of worship as really desired in Islam?

Answer #1457:

Doing so with the intention of being really reported in shar‘ is problematic and a matter for contemplation. However, there is no harm in engaging in these acts of worship in the hope that they are desirable in Islam.
