The Ruling on Greeting the Day of Friday via Mobile Phone Messages
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This brother asks about the ruling on greeting the Day of Friday, such as saying "Blessed Friday," and specifically designating Friday for sending messages from mobile phones, and at the end of the message writing "Increase in supplication, Blessed Friday, and may Allah reward you with good."
Answer:
This is a beginning for spreading bid'ah (religious innovations). There is no basis for greeting the Day of Friday. Even though Friday is a blessed day and a great day, and it has the Friday prayer, the Hour of Response, and the gathering of Muslims, and it has many virtues, we follow the evidence. Nothing has come down stating that one should greet the Day of Friday, nor has it come down that one should be asked to increase in supplication on it. Mobile phones have become servants to the innovators, so you should beware of them and what is spread through them. Yes.
