I would like to know what the ruling is regarding wedding and birthday cakes. Can I bake them for customers?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible to make and sell wedding cakes. Avoid designing birthday cakes.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
