A husband giving his wife annual gifts on their wedding day

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some men give their wives annual gifts on their wedding day. Is this considered one of the festivals that are prohibited?

Answer:
Repeating it, meaning on the fortieth day or something like that, yes, this is not permissible. However, if you give her a gift without being restricted to a specific time or setting a specific time for the gift, that is fine.
