The basic saying of this link and the answer to that question is "No".
"Many of the Muslims follow the enemies of Allaah in many of their customs and ways of behaving, and imitate them in some of their rituals and in celebrating their holidays. " quote is from the above link

salamz. ^^
it's haram, because valantine's day is more like a religious day for christians and it was made after a man name valentino who was killed for the woman he loved. 3nodding
valentino is a father in a church. so, yeah. xp

If your married you may indeed use the date as excuse to do something wonderful for your better half.

If You are married, u don't need valentinesday to love. Just love when u got some spare time lol xd

valentinesday is just a weird tradition.

I hope u don't believe in that flying man at the top of the screen, who fire arrows to get u in love lol

I would love everyday, not just 1 day xd

That's so true.
Valentines Day was actualy a day when a massacare happened and a bunch of people died. xp
So I guess,they decided to turn it into a day of love.odd... xd
excuse me of me poor spelling. rofl

I think it's a stupid day, ironically my birthday is february the 14th . Besides why can't christians celebrate one of our holidays?? To me it's a matter of pride, as a muslim i celebrate love every day by praying and worshipping Allah, by respecting my parents and helping others. We don't need anyone to tell us when to celebrate love, it's just ridiculous.

Cupid was actually the Roman equivalent to the Greek god Eros, who was the god of sexual love, beauty, and ferility. He fired two kinds arrows at people--golden ones for love and lead ones for rejection. Scary, he was, since he could even use his powers on the other gods.
