Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

 

The celebration called "Holy Festival" is a Hindu celebration which does not have any connection with Prophet Ibraaheem nor any other Prophet, and it is not permissible to celebrate it.

Allaah Knows best.
