Is it permissible to give a gift to one's wife on the occasion of the annual wedding anniversary?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The husband should not seek the date of his marriage to offer a gift to his wife, because that is considered taking that day as an 'Eid (festival), and a Muslim has no annual 'Eids except 'Eid al-Fitr and 'Eid al-Adha. It has not been reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) or from the Salaf that they used to do that. Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymeen holds the view of blocking this door, because repeating the gift on this day annually is considered an 'Eid, and affection should not be renewed annually but should be continuously renewed between the spouses.
