A Baseless Celebration
The great scholar, Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī Al-Shawkānī, said:
Up until now, I have [still] not found any proof establishing [the validity of celebrating the Prophet’s ﷺ birthday in Islam] from the Qur’an, Sunnah, ijmāʿ [scholarly consensus], qiyās [deduction by analogy], or istidlāl [any other kind of proof].
In fact, Muslims have always been in agreement that this [practice] never existed during the time of the best of generations, nor that of those who came after them, nor that of those who came after [that second generation].
Al-Fath Ar-Rabbaani, 2/1087, as quoted by Shaikh ʿAbdullāh Al-Bukhārī.

[قولٌ في المولد]
للعلّامة الشّوكانيّ بحثٌ حول حكم المولد، وممّا قاله فيه:
"لم أجد إلى الآن دليلاً يدلّ على ثبوته من كتابٍ ولا سنّةٍ ولا إجماع ولا قياسٍ ولا استدلالٍ؛ بل أجمع المسلمون أنّه لم يُوجد في عصر خير القرون،ولا الّذين يلونهم،ولا الّذين يلونهم"
