The Ruling on Eating from the Prophet’s Birthday Sweets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There are sweets that have “Noble Prophet’s Birthday Sweets” written on them, and they are manufactured specifically for celebrating the bid'ah (religious innovation) of the Mawlid. His question is: What is the ruling on eating from these sweets?
Answer:
These sweets must be reported to the scholars so that they can take action to prohibit them. The Ministry of Trade should issue a ban on them, their import, and their promotion, because this is promoting bid'ah. Therefore, it is not permissible to remain silent about them. A letter should be written to the mufti (scholar who issues fatwas) with a sample of them attached, and, if Allah wills, a remedy for this matter will be achieved.
