Does he celebrate Valentines Day?
peace Carla D, celebrating non-muslim holidays is a contentious issue amongst muslims. most muslim scholars are of the opinion that we should avoid celebrating these holidays since many of them have pagan origin or celebrate unislamic ideals. love is celebrated in islam. in fact, god refers to the tenderness between two spouses as one of his signs. however, islam only allows intimacy between an unrelated man and woman through the institution of marriage. there is certainly a minority opinion that allows celebrating, e.g. birthdays, valentines, etc. however, here the allowance is only for celebrating in an islamically allowed manner (i.e. sharing love on valentines day with family and spouse). however, there is no compulsion in religion. many muslims choose date and celebrate valentine, etc. this depends on the individual and you will have to ask him directly.
