Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on greeting with the phrase "May you be well every year," whether in the festival or at the beginning of the year?
Answer:
This is not a supplication. "May you be well every year" is not a supplication. But if you say, "May Allah keep you in goodness," or "May Allah return it to you with goodness," or "with acceptance," that is good. Or, "May Allah return it to us and to you with righteous deeds," that brings a supplication. As for saying "May you be well every year," this is not a supplication. Yes.
