Egyptian Cleric Sheik Abd Al-Qader Al-Sibai: Islamic Law Forbids Us to Greet Christians on Easter.

Following are excerpts from an address by Egyptian cleric Sheik Abd Al-Qader Al-Sibai, which aired on Al-Hafez TV on May 6, 2013.

Sheik Abd Al-Qader Al-Sibai: With regard to greeting Christians on Easter or on the Sham Al-Nessim holiday – we must first understand what it means. The Christian faith is entirely different from Islam. The Christians believe, among other things, that Allah has a son. However, Allah denied this is in several places in the Koran.

They curse our God, and I am supposed to greet them and wish them a good year so they can curse our God some more?!

According to the shari'a of Islam, it is prohibited to greet our Coptic brothers – I mean "brothers" in the national sense – on the occasion of their false holidays. Source: Memri.
