HOTCROSS BUNS AND EASTER EGGS
Question
Is it permissible to buy, sell and consume hotcross buns and easter eggs? A Maulana says that these things no longer have any religious meaning, and the cross on the bun should simply be broken off. The bun may be consumed.
Answer
Hotcross buns, easter eggs and all kinds of religious artefacts of the baatil religions are haraam. The maulana blurted out something which he does not understand.
Hotcross buns and easter eggs still do have religious connotations. If it be assumed that the religious dimension no longer exists, then too, the very shirki origin of these artefacts renders the buns and easter eggs haraam. A cross is the symbol of kufr and shirk of the worst kind. It symbolizes the Christian baatil doctrine of trinity which claims that Nabi Isaa (Alayhis Salaam) and Hadhrat Maryam (Alayhas salaam) are deities and constituents of the trinity concept of godhood.
It is shirk of the worst kind – worse than stone idols. The worshippers of stone idols do not believe that the idols they manufacture with their own hands are the Creator. They believe these rubbish stone idols to be intermediaries who will intercede for them by Allah Ta’ala. On the contrary, those who subscribe to the Christian doctrine of trinity believe in the godhood of Nabi Isaa (Alayhis salaam) and Hadhrat Maryam (Alayhis salaam).
On the Day of Qiyaamah, Allah Ta’ala will say to Nabi Isaa (Alayhis salaam):
“O Isaa, the son of Maryam! Did you say to the people: “Believe me and my mother to be two gods besides Allah”? (Isaa will respond): ‘Glory unto You! It is not proper for me to say anything for which I had no entitlement…” (Al-Maaidah)
Why would a Muslim eat something which is dedicated to shirk and kufr? If those in Gaza who are dying of hunger eat these buns of shirk, they will have justification just as a starving man may eat a bit of MJC certified pork to save his life. But those who are killing themselves with gluttony – those who have all the luxuries with which to destroy their health, have absolutely no reason to buy the buns and eggs of shirk.
Breaking the cross on the buns is real drivel talk. This stupid act does not render the buns of shirk to become halaal. Only morons such as SANHA and MJC who haaalize carrion can accept stupid stunts to be valid for the satanic ‘halaal’ industry.
The Qur’aan Majeed commands Muslims to enter into Islam in totality. Piecemeal entry is not valid. Abhorrence for shirk and kufr is embedded in the hearts of true Mu’mineen. The ‘stench’ of shirk is worse than the stench of carrion and faeces.
It is HARAAM to buy, sell and eat hotcross buns and easter eggs. The earnings of these religious artefacts are haraam and must be compulsorily given to the poor without intention of receiving thawaab. The intention should only be elimination of haraam.
Shirk and anything associated with Shirk is most abhorrent to Allah Ta’ala. Nothing is more abhorrent for Allah Ta’ala than Shirk. That is why the Qur’aan Majeed states:
“Allah does not forgive that shirk be committed with Him while He forgives everything else for whomever He wishes.”
