Not attending a birthday party
Question
My husband and his family do birthdays and anniversaries. I do not want to celebrate my daughters birthday because it will then happen every year. She is just a baby. This however causes friction in the family. What do I do?
Answer
Don't attend the function.
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.
