Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am a young man, and I have a mother who would like me to give her a gift on Mother’s Day. Is it permissible for me to give it to her?
Answer:
No. Inform her that this is not permissible. Designating a specific day for Mother’s Day is something the disbelievers do, who do not recognize the mother except on one day, meaning they make a holiday for her. As for us, and the mother, praise be to Allah, we know her every day, we serve her, and we obey her. We do not designate a specific day for the mother, or for women, or anything similar, such as Women’s Day or Islam Day. Islam does not designate specific days. Yes.
