Written response approved by Mufti Ebrahim Desai:

Islamic perspective
Celebrating Halloween in any form is impermissible and against the teachings of Islam.
Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, “The one who imitates any people, is amongst them.”

The famous Sahabah, Abdullah ibn Amr (رضي الله عنهما) adds,
“Whoever resides in the lands of the non-Arabs and then celebrates their religious occasions (such as Nairuz and Mihrajan – Persian holidays) and emulates their practices and thereafter dies in such a condition, shall be raised with them on the Day of Judgement.”

Islam strongly forbids Muslims from wasting their wealth and involving themselves in futile acts.

Conclusion
Virtually all Halloween traditions are based either in ancient pagan culture, or in Christianity. From an Islamic point of view, they all are forms of idolatry (shirk). As Muslims, our celebrations should be ones that honor and uphold our faith and beliefs. We should not participate or condone such evil customs as Halloween.

It is the duty of every Muslim parent to educate their children to refrain from practicing falsehood and not to imitate others in their futile customs and festivals. If the children are taught to be proud of their Islamic heritage, they themselves will, if Allah wills, abstain from Halloween and other non-beneficial celebrations.
