Is selling small artifacts for celebratory occasions such as al-Subu' (the seventh day after a child's birth) and weddings forbidden or permissible?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The ruling on selling artifacts and gifts made in the shape of humans, animals, or birds has been clarified in previous fatwas. Furthermore, the سبوع (Siboo‘ - a celebration for a newborn) in its current form includes innovations (bid‘ah) and beliefs that contravene the correct methodology, such as sprinkling salt and striking the mortar to ward off the evil eye.
