I'm not going to go into references for now, as I'm looking at it differently (and agree with eating sweets that are not religiously linked)

So; which is forbidden and which is permitted and why?

Saying: Happy Diwali, Happy Christmas, Happy Easter, Diwali Sweets, Halloween sweets, Happy Halloween, Happy Hanukka, Happy New year, Happy Eid. And so on.

When is it permitted to say any of these and if not permitted, how and when does it become permitted to partake?

(I get the point you're making, but it can take a twist and where must it end?)

As usual, a lot of hot air, assumptions, presumptions, allegations, distractions, changing topics but no actual reference from Hanafi Madhab...

Eating Diwali Sweets:

Question: My question is that if the sweets of diwali may be consumed yes or no for Muslim?

(Fatwa: 129/129/M=1433) If the sweet is not offered in the name of god or goddess then it is allowable to eat it.

Watching Fireworks:

daruliftaa.us/fatwa/841/

In principle, forms of entertainment that are free of ḥarām elements such as gambling or free-mixing of the genders are permissible provided they do not lead to neglecting responsibilities or wasting excessive time or resources.[1]

As such, watching and lighting fireworks (safely) are both permissible given the above conditions.

Hanafi Madhab Reference?

Don't insert scenarios in the questions above
Don't insert your own fantasies in the questions above
Don't insert XYZ

Waiting for references...

Sorry, I missed it.

Where have you provided a reference from Hanafi Madhab?

Sweets are given during Diwali because they symbolize prosperity, good luck, and sweet new beginnings for the coming year!

It's a celebration of a New Year of a pagan religion.

So when the nice caring neighbour says "Happy Diwali" should we reply the same and take the sweets?

Loading Qur'aan Verse

and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah.

That's my understanding without going into semantics and references.

Once again, read what is written and not what is in your head...
