just a quick thread that can be deleted after i get my answer inshallah...
are fireworks haram?? just wondering..we do them in our frunt yard on july 4...no we dont care bout july 4 its just the day cops are ready to look for ppl who pop 'em hehe(FUUUUUNNN!!!) sorry...anyway me and my brothers get smokers (the fireworks of course) and those that fly up and pop and all oh and the simple sparklers...
i dunt think it is haram becuse tons of muslims in detroit were doin it when we went (of course my brothers' blew up in the street..it lit up the whole street lol) so just let me kno!
hmm...so i read them...and they wouldnt be haram..
because we always get free fireworks (worth $200) lol and some lady (friend) gives us fireworks that she bought for free and we sometimes find them laying on the floor...so no..
and about the self harm ..just to make it clear the firework that blew up in the street in detroit DID NOT HARM ANYONE it just looked soooooo cute (and loud) and the streets were lighting in colorfulness its sooo beautiful!!
i've always wanted to know this!
thanx for the question and the answer!
i remember once (i was very young) our mosque teacher saw us doing fireworks around Diwali time.
now we weren't doing it cause of Diwali, but, we somehow managed to get our hands on some.
he wasn't very happy.....
meh I see fireworks in central london every new year where they spend £1.6 MILLION (about $3.3 million USD) of my tax paying money on fireworks! not $200
this is the 'lil' price we pay (she got them frum a cheap place) and this is how much it is when U are gonna pop em urself...like in ur front yard..on the driveway.lol.

lol u lost me... didnt u just finish sayin u pay million for fireworks?
p.s. 100 uk thingy is the same as 200 $ ?
nooo i dont spend millions I havent got millions 2 spend
I pay TAX, tax is somthing you have to pay when you work which goes to the goverment who spend the money I have 2 give them how they want mainly improving the country! - its somthing EVERY person has to give who pays TAX theres no way out of it
for example
if I earn £2000 per month I will only receve £1500
because £500 went 2 tax
Maybe your abit young to understand TAX!
Yeah its about £100 GBP
it cost more to live in the UK
Like for exmple an iPod touch 8GB in america cost $299 but buying from the UK it cost me $394 USD so its double
SO if I converted £1 GBP it would get me $2 USD making it cheaper over there

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
It is permissible to use, sell and buy fireworks on the condition that this does not cause frightening or harming a Muslim, and would not lead one to neglect his religious obligations. In addition to this, their price should not be very expensive, as in this case they would be forbidden. Fireworks are permissible in principle but it they lead to something forbidden, which is the loss of money and spending money inappropriately, then this is wasting money which is forbidden.
We do not think that using fireworks involves worshipping the fire because not every person who uses the fire worships it.
^ ok thats good... the fireworks we do dont harm or frighten anyone... my baby sis (3) and my other sis (5) luv watching them...they never get scared no one does ...thanks sis
As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh to Sister of Islam.
