Question:
Honorable Shaykh, another question that came in via Twitter: When congratulating the birth of a child, they say, “May he grow up in your honor.” Is there any objection to this?
Answer:
There is no objection to it, but it differs from what is established. So when they congratulate him on the child, he should say, “May Allah accept it,” or “May Allah accept it from you,” or something similar. Yes.
