Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it haraam\/shirk to participate in activities during the christmas season to
1) cook seasonal food in a halaal manner (sorrel, turkey, non alcoholic fruit cake etc)  and inviting your family to eat.
2) buy\/sell gifts and toys as a business as well as profitting from the sale of halaal items like fruit cake.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Muslims, we should be mindful of deeds and actions that go contrary to the Shari\u2019ah of Islam. Christmas is a festival where the birth of Jesus is celebrated and he is said to be the \u201cson of God.\u201d We ask Allah \ufdfb<\/strong> to protect us from adopting such a belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A salient characteristic in the life of a Muslim is their intention. So much so, Rasulullah \ufdfa<\/strong> said: \u201cActions are based upon intention and every person will get (the recompense) for that which he intended[i]<\/sup><\/a>.\u201dHe also said in another Hadith, \u201cwhoever imitates a people is one of them.[ii]<\/sup><\/a>\u201d This means that he will be classed as being from that group of people. So our deeds, thoughts and actions are very important as Muslims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for your questions, firstly, Halal food prepared in a Halal manner will be Halal to consume in normal circumstances. However, if Halal food is prepared and eaten in a manner which is done to solely imitate the non-Muslims, especially in their religious practices, then such Halal food will be reprehensible to consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, \u201cChristmas\u201d time is usually a time when people are off from work and are at home, so families (Muslims and non-Muslims) get together at that time to eat and socialise. If a Muslim wants to invite non-Muslim family members at that time to eat then they should prepare halal \u201cnon-seasonal\u201d food. The halal \u201cseasonal food\u201d can be prepared any other time before or after Christmas for family events. The same ruling will apply if Muslims alone decide to prepare halal \u201cseasonal foods\u201d at that time[iii]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, it is permissible for Muslims to take advantage of the sale of Halal items at these times provided that the things that they buy are things which they genuinely need and have use for. It will also be permissible for Muslim business owners to stock up on Halal items for that time knowing that it is a time when the sales will increase. However, it will not be permissible for Muslim businessmen and traders to buy and sell Christmas themed items, products and decorations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Muslim should try their best to encourage people to worship Allah \ufdfb<\/strong> alone and leave off ascribing partners to Him. He should not be assisting and facilitating the disobedience and the worship of others besides Allah \ufdfb<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Allah Ta\u2019\u0101la Knows Best<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
