We often wonder about the permissibility of buying fireworks for our Muslim children to play with during the Christian new year celebrations. Is it permissible for Muslims to buy these fireworks and play with them during the Muslim festivities? Are we allowed to play with them during the celebrations of the Christian new year? Can we buy and use them before or after new year not to celebrate the occasion but merely because fireworks are most commonly sold during this time of year?
