So I’m not in favor of doing any Christmas decoration on my own. But in west its hard to escape from these things completely as ofcourse its one of the most celebrated season. We’ve decorations going on at work place. And within my team they are collecting money from everyone for their share to decorate.
Question: Is it allowed in Islam to contribute whether financially or by any other means for non-Islamic events like christmas etc?
The social aspect of this whole thing is that by doing sorta bycott and not contributing at all will result in muslims’ isolation from the society which is definitely no good.
We had this discussion at our breakfast table this morning. Kids want a Christmas tree. Personally i don’t have an issue, but thought that I might be leading them into an unknown path, as they are too young to maintain a good balance. I promised about the lights in the front yard though.
Technically speaking, the decoration is no longer called Christmas decoration. It’s holiday lights, holiday trees etc. I see no harm in you contributing
