The ruling on designating the first Friday of the year for speaking about the Hijrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is Salim, and he says: What is the ruling on designating the first Friday of the beginning of the year for speaking about the Prophetic Hijrah, and likewise designating the last Friday of the year for bidding farewell to the year?

Answer:
There is no doubt that planning for this and making it a regular practice is the default, and the Hijrah must be mentioned constantly. It is not specific to the beginning of the year, because it is one of the great events in the biography of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and it must be studied and reflected upon every year. So, committing to this every year is not permissible. However, if a person does it sometimes, there is nothing wrong with it. But if he commits to it every year, and every time the month of Dhu al-Hijjah ends he speaks about the Hijrah, it becomes a duty of the month, and this is wrong. Yes.
