Eating an Easter egg without the intention of celebrating Easter

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: What if the intention behind eating an easter egg is not about the easter celebration but, just randomly eating it like one eats a bar of chocolate without even thinking of it as an easter egg?

Bismillaah

A: To eat the easter egg in these days when Easter is celebrated is impermissible irrespective of whether you have the intention or not.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
