If you are not able to donate, then please make du’ā to Allah that He continues to aid and strengthen this blessed da’wah.

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all creation; may Allah extol the mention of our noble Prophet Muhammad in the highest company of Angels and give him peace and security―and his family, his Companions and all those who follow him correctly until the establishment of the Hour.

    Some Muslims in the UK have taken the non-Muslim activity of “Secret Santa” and made an Eid version called “Secret Eidi”. When told that this is imitating the kuffar and is related to Christmas, they reply that it’s just a game and isn’t a religious practice, is this a correct view? Or is it haram?

      This game is an imitation of the kuffār, stay away from it.

      “How do you play the game Secret Santa?

      The basic concept of the Secret Santa game is simple. All of the participants’ names are placed into a hat, box, etc. and mixed up. Each person then chooses one name from the box but doesn’t tell anyone which name was picked. He/she is now responsible for buying a gift for the person selected.”
