    <summary type="text">Is celebrating Valentine's Day haram?
Valentine's Day is not haram and need not be bad, he says, but do not let relationships become your identity or worth; keep your own goals and purpose. Mufti Abu Layth says Valentine's Day is not in itself forbidden or haram, and need not even be a bad thing.
