The ruling on congratulating with the phrase "Blessed Friday"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
With Allah's blessing, we begin this session with a message received from Abu Maqbul from Yemen, residing in Riyadh. He says: We notice that some people, Honorable Shaykh, after Friday, when they meet you and greet you, say to you "Blessed Friday" or something similar. Has anything been transmitted regarding this? And what is the advice for them? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, there is no doubt that Friday, meaning the Friday prayer, is blessed, and that the day of Friday is a blessed day. However, congratulating after the prayer in this manner has no basis and no evidence for it. It should be left. Yes.
