Q: I have a question regarding birthdays. Can we as Muslims celebrate birthdays? I know the answer is no, but a friend of mine told me that if you just cut the cake and only invite one or two friends just to make your child happy, then it's not gunaah and you wont be punished for it. So is this true? Can we celebrate our child's birthday just the way she said?
A: Refrain from this. Celebrating birthdays is the way of the kuffaar.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
