Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In our country, they celebrate the Prophet’s Mawlid (peace and blessings be upon him) and sell various types of sweets specifically for this occasion. Is it permissible to buy such sweets and offer them to our children? And if a relative sends them to my children as a gift, should I let them eat from these sweets?
Answer:
My brother, the shops are there and full of sweets. Go and buy for your children from the shops, and do not take these things, because this is encouraging them and approving of them in this act. Yes.
