Question
Is it permissible to decorate the house with balloons and streamers to celebrate the birth of a baby?
Answer
وكلوا واشربوا ولا تسرفوا إنه لا يحب المسرفين
Eat and drink and do not be extravagant. Surely, He (Allah) does not like the extravagant. (Verse: 7:31)
إن المبذرين كانوا إخوان الشياطين وكان الشيطان لربه كفورا
Surely, squanderers (the extravagant) are brothers of the devils, and the devil is very ungrateful to his Lord. (Verse: 17:27)
والذين إذا أنفقوا لم يسرفوا ولم يقتروا وكان بين ذلك قواما
(The true servants of Allah are) those who, when they spend, are neither extravagantnor miserly and it (i.e. their spending) is moderate in between (the two extremes). (Verse: 25:67)
إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ لَكُمۡ عَدُوّ فَٱتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّاۚ
Indeed shaytan is your (open) enemy, so treat him as an enemy
May Allah give us the proper understanding and protect us from the ploys of Shaytan the accursed who has been declared by Allah as our open enemy.Checked and Approved By:
