In Islam, is it allowed to celebrate birthdays. If anybody (Muslim or non muslim) invites a muslim to attend a birth day party, whether one should go to attend it or not?
Answer:
(Fatwa: 34/34=M)
It is unlawful to celebrate birthday, it is a tradition of the West and it has no importance in Islam. It is wrong to attend such nonsense celebrations whether the invitatory is a Muslim or a non-Muslim.
