Wishing someone "Happy Birthday"
Question
What is the ruling with regard to wishing someone "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" in Islam? What was the sunnah of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)?
Answer
This is a baseless unislamic practice.
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.
