Courting the Christians by Congratulating Them on Their New Year

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A question from Maysir, your eminence, says: Is it permissible for Muslims to congratulate Christians on their new year and attend?

Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. It is not permissible to be friendly with them or to congratulate them on their year or their festival. It is not permissible, yes.
