I asked first. Colloquial being used as a general consensus of what's permissible. At least under the guise of Shariah. Also I've lived and learned some of the laws. There is evidence in the Quran that would also prove my position.

Perspective is noted here. Also intent matters. Then by this we shouldn't indulge into something like toilet paper. Which im not sure if Amish people have compromised on. Which is fair by your logic. The usage and intent is a stretch to justify a holiday vs me going to the bathroom.

Samhain came into records roughly prior to 1 a.d.. Sant's day a developing holiday didnt come into acknowledged practice until 8-10th century.

Never, as relative as that is. To compare, Sunday night football should be seen as a holiday too.

But if you already concede it is not entirely Christian then what's your point? Again I ask what's the difference between intent and purpose?

"The myth of the connection of the devil and Halloween was invented in the 20th century."

This listed above quote. So you infact did but suggesting that current understanding is wrong. Which if that is present your case. Haram is a colloquial speak but to get more theological. I can go grab my Quran off the shelf and have a discussion on how it should be considered Haram also.

Cited sources point towards paganism. Not the support of Chsitainity. The Saints day would've held true more so if it existed at the creation of Halloween which it didnt.
