It is not a religious holiday, but more of a social concept.\\n\\nIf the event focuses on permissible activities, such as fostering sisterhood, learning, or bonding, there is no inherent issue. However, given the commercialization associated with the term, it would be better to avoid using the \\\"Galentine's\\\" name or incorporating its themed products. Instead, consider framing it as “Celebrating Sisterhood” or choosing a similar theme that reflects Islamic values and keeps the focus on the purpose of the gathering without unnecessary associations.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff00b76658b4c2329ae","tag":"Contemporary Life: Holidays","count":41}],"createdOn":"2024-12-25T23:40:57.848Z"}
