Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Their participation is known to be forbidden.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : The question is about the permissibility of accepting this gift of sweets that they make.
The Shaykh : Where does this gift come from? I asked you, where does it come from?
The questioner : From the Muslims who participate with the Christians in their festivals.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for Muslims to do this. Are they giving gifts? I mean, are Muslims exchanging gifts or not?
The questioner : May Allah bless you. In our countries, there is no adherence to the rules, so you find Muslims participating with the Christians in the festival.
The Shaykh : Well, then this is forbidden.
The questioner : This is not permissible.
The Shaykh : Very well.
The questioner : Now, our relatives give us sweets as gifts.
The Shaykh : We return it, yes, because their action is forbidden.
The questioner : Also, if we visit them, they give us some of this.
The Shaykh : Do not visit them at that time.
The questioner : Not after that either.
The Shaykh : Ah?
The questioner : After that, nothing remains.
The Shaykh : Does it remain all year?
The questioner : No, after a week or a month.
The Shaykh : Add, add, it is delayed.
