Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence. Was there a congratulation for the entry of the month of Ramadan? And if a person congratulates me, what do I say to him? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes. It is reported from the Salaf (the earliest generations) that they would congratulate one another on the entry of Ramadan, and there is no blame on this. One would say, for example: "Blessed month," or "May Allah bless you in your month," or something similar. And the one being congratulated responds with what he was congratulated with. He would say, for example: "And to you the same," or "It is blessed for you as well," or whatever brings comfort to the one who congratulated him. Yes.
