Salam Aleykum,

The answer is that the scholars differ and I can see three groups:

1- Milad is impermissible as it is an innovation and it resembles the christian's celebration of Isa's (as) birth, we only have Two 'Eids and we are not allowed to increase our worship on a specific day of the year or week.

2- Milad is not a 'Eid it is a memory and we can spend it doing Dhikr and listening to Seerah as long as we do not do any ghulu or innovations such as "eating cakes" playing with "Fireworks" or inventing any ritualistic acts of worship such as a "new prayer" ect...

3- Celebrating Milad is permissible and anything you do on it is permissible because it shows love.

Personally I am somewhere between #1 and #2...
