Question

Answer
Make the intention that Allah Ta`ala will be pleased and the Muslims around will also be comfortable. It also brings happiness to the malaa'ikah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
