Eating birthday cakes
Question
Is it permissible to eat prasaad and birthday cake or sweets offered that is offered to me. If I can't avoid it then how could i amend or compensate for this.
Answer
If prasaad refers to some type of a hindi food then this is haraam and forbidden. You may risk your faith. Try your best to refrain from birthdays and birthday cakes etc.
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.
