Wa `alaykum as-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

 

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

 

There is nothing un-Islamic about it; it cannot be considered as objectionable as long as it is a custom and not treated as a binding religious ritual. The Law-Giver can only institute acts of worship.  Humans initiate customs; they are free to do so as long as it does not contradict any of the principles of Islam or as long as they are free of vices.

 

Allah Almighty knows best.
