Assalamu Alaykum,

Subhan'Allah, I was actually going to make a thread on this before I found one already here.

Admittedly, I jumped on the "it's a bid'ah" bandwagon but have relented very recently. I can see how it can be three things: either a good act (where no specific date is given and only halal acts are committed), a bad act (where haraam such as free mixing, dancing to music etc occurs) or a bid'ah (where it is confined to a specific date believed to Nabi (saw) birthday or if it is believed to be a wrong doing if you do not partake etc.)

I hope my understanding is more correct and balanced now, Allahu Alam.
