The Ruling on Congratulating One Another on the Festival
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on congratulating one another on the festival?
Answer:
Nothing prevents starting, meaning no one congratulates another first. And if someone congratulates him, he returns the greeting, as Imam Ahmad said: “I do not start with it, meaning the congratulation, but I return it to whoever congratulates me.”
