Celebrating anniversaries

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it permissible to celebrate a wedding anniversary, not on a large scale but just a little surprise for my husband within the budget of aprox. R500?

Bismillaah

A: Celebrating wedding anniversaries is not the way of the Muslims. This is the way of the kufaar.

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