Question

Are we allowed to eat chocolate Easter eggs all through the year? There's no intention to celebrate Easter and its MJC approved.

Answer

It is essential to refrain from eating Easter eggs throughout the year since it has resemblance with kufr beliefs and customs. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/282

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
