Answer
(Fatwa: 477/465=N)
Celebrating birthday is against the teachings of Islam and it is a custom of others. It is not right to participate in such programmes and have feast over there. Yet, if a non-Muslim offers you sweet without participating in birthday programme then there is no wrong with accepting the gift.
