The Ruling on Congratulating the Arrival of the New Hijri Year

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. Go, go, go far away. It is not permissible to congratulate people on the New Year, because it is not one of the festivals, and the custom of the Sunnah is not like this. Yes.
