Question:
We are still with the calls from our brothers and sisters in the Wednesday meeting with His Eminence, the scholar Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan. Abu Faisal, please, my brother Abu Faisal. Abu Faisal, peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you, peace, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy. Every day, may you be well. Please, may you be well every year. I testify to Allah that I… My brother.
Answer:
My brother, there is no basis for congratulating one another on the beginning of the year. This is done on the day of the festival, the day of 'Id al-Adha and 'Id al-Fitr. As for the beginning of the Hijri year, there is no congratulation for it. Yes.
