Can We Eat Christmas Cake Gifted By Christian Colleagues?
By this logic, all the cakes which even Muslims cut for birthdays should also be forbidden. Merely cutting a cake for birthday does not make it Haram unless it is being cut explicitly for any one other than Allah’s name. If you have evidence to this fact that the cake is being given on name other than Allah, then that cake would be prohibited from eating otherwise the cake can be eaten. Usually there is no such element in Christmas Cakes as per my experience. Please also refer to the video below from 9:08 to 10:36 https://youtu.be/bypN2Cu8uwo?t=548
