Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to buy what is called the sweets of the Prophet's birthday celebration? And if some people bought them by mistake, is it permissible for me to eat from them?
Answer:
No. You do not eat from any food prepared for the purpose of establishing a bid'ah (religious innovation), for it is not good wealth.
