My 3 yr wedding anniversary is coming up really soon :). I just came back from the mall empty handed (well except for lunch...lol) I have no idea what to get my husband, I've asked him almost everyday for the past week what he wants, and he'll just say something funny. I do really want to get him something special. Do you guys have any suggestions? We're going to be moving soon inshAllah so any kind of furniture or something we can't take in our luggage is out. I was thinking of a chain braclet with an inscription in it?! Do guys wear those kind of things?
help :eek:

:wasalam:

wa alaikumassalaam,

I dont think its allowed for men to wear bracelet, need to check properly though.
My friends wife got him a ring with their names inscribed on the inside of it, it was just a gift, that sounds cool, although no guy is ever too old for a playstation3........:D

And im guessing someone might have something to say about anniversaries and celebrating them, not me though.

Question:
Is it permissible for me to give a gift to my wife on the anniversary of our wedding each year?.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.

If the husband wants to give his wife a gift, he should give it at any time or on any appropriate occasion or when there is a reason for doing so. He should not wait for the anniversary of their wedding to give her a gift, because that implies that he is taking this day as an “Eid” (an occasion that is celebrated regularly), and there are no annual Eids for the Muslims except Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. These occasions – wedding anniversaries – came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companions, and the salaf (early generations) of this ummah and its imams, but there is no report that they used to give gifts to their wives on these days. And all goodness is to be found in following them.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: is it permissible for the husband to give a gift to his wife on their wedding anniversary each year, as a renewal of the love between them, noting that this anniversary will be marked only by the giving of this gift and that the couple are not going to celebrate this occasion?

He said:

What I think is that this should not be done, because this year it may be just a gift, but next year it may become a celebration. Moreover, marking this occasion with a gift is regarded as making it an ‘Eid’, because the Eid is that which is repeated. Love does not need to be renewed every year, rather it should be renewed all the time, every time the woman sees something of her husband that makes her happy, and every time the man sees something of his wife that makes him happy, then the love between them will be renewed.

Fataawa al-‘Ulama’ fi ‘Ushrat al-Nisa’, p. 162.

Thank you Ayman 1, I may take that advice :)


//** FYI I am NOT asking if you think it's haram or halal to celebrate an anniversary. We are celebrating our anniversary and in no way do I put our celebration on the same level or above any of the 2 Eids......maybe I should have known better then to ask this question here .....

I have an idea but i dont know its something you will like or not, but i know I would like it if it was my anniversary, in the mall there are some places they can laser a picture into crystal-im not sure of the real term for it..like you could take your wedding picture and have the date inscribed and put some inscription like happy anniv or something..or have your picture put in it for him..just an idea..

You know, the PS3 idea sounds like a good one to me lol. Or just get him a nice perfume set - the ultimate fallback gift when you can't think of nothing else. Oh yeah, and make sure you don't get him a gift this time next year :p Salam alaikum.

How about a leather wallet. that way he will always have it with him & think about you when he opens it. Leather is the traditional item for third anniversary.
