The Ruling on Greeting the New Hijri Year and Sermons on the Migration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on greeting the new year? And what is the ruling on planning sermons about the Prophet’s migration in the first month of the year in the mosques, radio stations, and elsewhere?
Answer:
Greeting the new year has no basis; greeting the new year has no basis. As for the Hijri year and reminding people of the migration, this is not something that should be restricted to this time. Speak about the migration at any time? Reminding people of the migration, that it is obligatory, that it is required, and that it is the companion of jihad in the Book of Allah the Exalted, so that they do not reside among the polytheists and do not be lenient in traveling to the lands of the polytheists, this is a good thing, but it is not specific to this time only.
