Eating from the sweets of the Prophet's birthday celebration

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: My neighbors gave me sweets as a gift for the occasion of the Prophet's birthday. One day after the celebration ended, is it permissible for us to eat them?

Answer:
Do not eat from them. This is a religious innovation (bid'ah), and it is not permissible to eat it. Yes.
