Question: Can we organize a ‘Milad Mahfil’ at any time and at any place (mosque/home)? If not, then why not? Please give response in the light of authentic Hadith.
    Answer: There is nothing wrong in the absolute sense with organizing Milad gatherings. It all depends on what is read in the Milad and what the intention is while reading it. If what is read does not go into the realms of polytheism (as it does on most occasions) and the intention is just to offer Du’a for the Prophet (sws), then this cannot be objected to. It is commendable to read about the life of the Prophet (sws) and remind one another of his character, for his life is a role model for all of us.
    The other thing is that Milad was non existent in the early times; so you will not find any Hadith dealing with this subject.
