Buying Christmas themed food

Question

is it permissable to buy   food in christmas when it is decorated in the christmas theme,

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

As Muslims, we guard our Imaan and Tawheed. We are strongly averse to anything associated with shirk. Christmas is an integral part of Christianity which is based on shirk. It does not behove Muslims to purchase Christmas themed food as it goes against the spirit of Tawheed. This is irrespective of the ingredients of the food being halal.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
