The ruling on the hadith: "Ramadan begins with mercy"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the imams of the mosques, upon the arrival of Ramadan, repeat: "Ramadan begins with mercy, its middle is forgiveness, and its end is release from the Fire."
Answer:
Yes, this was reported in a marfu' hadith from Salman, but the hadith is weak. I heard Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) say that every Ramadan is like this; all of it contains mercy, forgiveness, and release from the Fire in all of its nights. Yes.
