The ruling on saying "Haniyyan Mariyyan" when drinking
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, some people when they drink water, or drink a beverage, one of us says to another, for example, "Haniyyan Mariyyan." Is this from the Sunnah, or what is the correct thing to say? Because it has become widespread among people.
The Shaykh : Nothing is said to him. Yes. If a person is in a gathering where he has a word to say, and one of them drinks, and he says to him, for example, sometimes "Haniyyan Mariyyan" or something like that, and he understands that this is not from the Sunnah, but there is no harm in doing it occasionally, so it is permissible. However, if he does it in front of a crowd of people such that they assume it is a religious law or a Sunnah, then this is not permissible.
The questioner : So it is permissible not to say it, or to say it occasionally, as I said.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
