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!!

okey..:w:

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.....

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

lol it sounds complicated!

As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh

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.

Allah Only Knows best.

As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh to Sister of Islam.

You welcome. Yes thats is right, fireworks doesn't harm or frightening to anyone. But be careful for children who near those fireworks because it can harming them.

Peace be upon you, Siste of Islam!
