Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to congratulate people on the arrival of the new Hijri year?
Answer:
No, there is no basis for that. Although it is not a festival, it is not permissible to offer congratulations for the new year, because it is not one of the festivals, and the practice of the Sunnah does not include such a thing.
