It is permissible to prepare food and sweets for permissible occasions such as the birth of a child and wedding parties. However, it is not permissible to prepare them for innovated occasions that involve assisting in something forbidden, such as birthdays and the Prophet's Birthday (Mawlid). Similarly, it is permissible to prepare them on days designated for awareness, such as "Cancer Day" and "Environment Day," and the like, where the intention is not to celebrate the day itself but rather to raise awareness about its theme.
