As per the details, the clerics have termed the Valentine’s Day celebrations as against the teachings of Islam. Talking exclusively to Dunya News, Mufti Naeem said that the media should not promote Valentine’s Day as Islam does not allow celebrating such a day.
Allama Raghib Naeemi said that Valentine’s Day should be observed as the ‘day of modesty’.
