Ruling on flower bouquets as gifts

20-4-2015 | IslamWeb

Question:

Assalamu'alaykum. May Allah give izza to Islam and to Muslimeen.What is an Islamic ruling on giving flower bouquet as a gift (Big or small). JazakAllahukhayran
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His Slave and Messenger.

The presumption is that nothing in Sharee'ah prohibits offering a flower bouquet as a gift, be it big or small. A gift is not necessarily intended to be for material benefit; rather, it is an expression of love and affection on part of the giver.

Allaah Knows best.
