Question: 3741 India Can a Muslim wish "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to anyone? And how to convince a non-muslim if it is not allowed? Kindly reply in detail. Answer: 3741 Apr 22,2008 (Fatwa: 36/36=M) The tradition of celebrating 'Happy Birthday' is an invention of the West. Whose birthday is more blessed than that of the Prophet () , but the Prophet ( ) was not alsked to celebrate his birthday; so how common people will be allowed to celebrate their birthdays. Therefore, a Muslim should not say 'Happy Birthday' to others; he should clearly say that it is not allowed in Islam. Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best Darul Ifta, Darul Uloom Deoband

The companions of the holy Prophet Muhammad ( ) who held great respect and love for holy Prophet Muhammad () , they never celebrated Eid Meelad. It is the invention of Christians which was invented following six hundred
