Promised A Non Muslim Poor Kid To Bring Birthday Cake

[abuzarn]

Few Days Back They Asked Me Infront of the kid to bring birthday cake on 21st May which is at like 2 days.
I could not say no and I said yes
I know that birthdays have got peganistic roots

Will I be sinful ? If I change my intention to that I am giving it to him just as a food and not as a birthday present.?

Good idea bro. Make him happy

[A.R.BRahimbaksh]

Assaalamu alaykum,
In my opinion you shouldn't change .it will make him happy and Allah knows everyone intention .
It depends on your intention.
It would be better if you give him .
If I have said something wrong or my word hurts you please forgive me.i am sorry.
Jazaka Allahu khairen.

If I'd be in your situation, I'd bring the cake. You intented to make someone happy and not to partake in pagan festivities. And if it is something bad, I might think making him sad is worse.

And Allah knows best.

Birthday parties are hard to avoid
Especially if it involves someone close to us...

We should seek the pleasure of Allaah in all things....
