Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am from the land of disbelief. My relatives celebrate the New Year, and I do not attend this festival with them. However, after the day of the festival, there is food left in the refrigerator from the remnants of their celebration. Is it permissible for me to eat from it?
Answer:
It is better that you do not eat from it, because if you eat from it, it means that you have approved of them in this. As for food prepared for the bid'ah (religious innovation) festival, do not eat from it. Yes.
