Islam provides clear guidelines on the imitation of non-Muslims, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a distinct Islamic identity. While certain forms of imitation may be permissible, particularly in non-religious matters that do not contradict Islamic teachings, caution is necessary. Muslims are advised to avoid practices that are unique to non-Muslim religions or customs, especially those that may lead to a weakening of Islamic principles.

Muslims are not permitted to celebrate Holi. Based on evidence from the Quran and Hadith, Islamic teachings prohibit participation in non-Muslim religious festivals. Scholars emphasize that Holi, being rooted in Hindu theology and involving rituals contrary to Tawhid (Islamic monotheism), is impermissible for Muslims to observe.
