The ruling on displaying adornments and lanterns in celebration of Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Husam is with us on the line, please go ahead, Husam. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh:
With Allah’s mercy.

Another questioner:
It has become widespread among some people to display adornments and lights, and what are called lanterns, and to decorate their homes with curtains and ornaments. They say it is in celebration of the month of Ramadan. Some of them even designate a place in the house for adornment and painting, as well as for the iftar and suhur meals. Is this permissible, may Allah protect you?

The Shaykh:
This has no basis. Ramadan and other months are equal in terms of improving the affairs of the home. Nothing of this is specific to Ramadan. Decorating the house, using curtains, and the like are not specific to Ramadan. Ramadan is specific to worship, repentance, and participating with the Muslims in the tarawih and tahajjud prayers. Yes.

The presenter:
Thank you, Husam,
