Salam Alaikum,

Is celebrating ones Birthday without any haram elements allowed? Suppose one just has dinner with his family outside on the day of his birthday and receives gifts is this allowed?

wa alaikum salam wa rahmatullah,

Shaykh Muhammad Abdullah Awadh, may Allah reward him plenty, was asked someting similar:
سؤال:

ماحكم الاحتفال بيوم الميلاد للطفل لتسلية الطفل!!هل يجوز او هو تشبه بالنصارى كما يقولون!! مع العلم انه لا يوجد فيه اغاني ولا موسيقى بس لعب وتسليه واكل؟

الجواب

لاينبغي الإهتمام بالأعياد الدخيلة فقد أغنانا الله تعالى عنها بالأعياد الإسلامية ويمكن إدخال السرور على الأطفال في المناسبات الإسلامية.
Question:
What is the ruling on celebrating a child's birthday for their entertainment? Is it allowed, or is it considered imitating the Christians, as some say? Note that there is no music or singing involved — just games, fun, and food.

Answer:
One should not pay attention to foreign (non-Islamic) celebrations, as Allah has sufficed us with the Islamic holidays. Joy can be brought to children during Islamic occasions.
