The answer

It is not permissible to participate in birthday celebrations by offering gifts, suspending work, or putting up decorations, nor is it permissible to offer congratulations for them. This is because they are an innovation (bid'ah), prohibited, and associated with corrupt beliefs. Celebrating them involves imitating Christians, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever imitates a people is one of them."
