Celebrating Spring day
Q: I would like some clarity on this matter. With the start of the spring season, we have been overwhelmed with *welcome spring * messages, status updates, adverts, etc.
My child attends an Islamic school, the school had a spring fun day. Children were required to wear colorful clothing, bring a flower, bring a picnic basket.
My query is, whilst I understand it is not Islamic, is it wrong to let our children participate in these activities.
Secondly, is it as innocent as it seems, or is there more background to it?
