The ruling on bidding farewell to the year and welcoming the new one

Question:
This questioner says: Bidding farewell to the year and welcoming the new year, what are the lessons and morals derived from the passage of these years in a person's life?

Answer:
My brothers, this is not based on the last day of Dhul Hijjah and the first of Muharram. No rulings are based on it, and it is not said that this is the first day of the year. The first day of the year is every day that comes, for it is the first of the year relative to what came before it and what follows it. This is merely something that 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) established during his caliphate so that the dates of the letters reaching him from his governors could be known, as there was no date by which incoming letters were dated. So 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wanted to establish a date by which letters could be identified. This was one of 'Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him) initial measures, and it has no occasion or supplication that is ever said. Rather, this is something the ignorant built upon this, and it has no basis. Yes.
