(Not actively participating in trick or treating, but still being a part of the neighborhood and passing out candy to the kids who come by)","answer":"The general rule is to refrain from all activities pertaining to Halloween. However, if someone lives in a close-knit neighborhood where trick-or-treating is still common, and all or the majority of neighbors give out candy, and they do not have any intention to celebrate the occasion or give this occasion any significance, but rather their intention is to be kind and neighborly, it would be permissible to give out candy. That said, it is still better to avoid.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c23280f","tag":"Relationships: Non-Muslims","count":95},{"_id":"668d9ff00b76658b4c2329ae","tag":"Contemporary Life: Holidays","count":41},{"_id":"668da0440b76658b4c2332a4","tag":"Halloween","count":3}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:42:07.736Z"}
