The questioner : What is the ruling of the Shari'ah, in your view, regarding the phrase: "with prosperity and sons," for the newlyweds?
The Shaykh : I see that this is a deviation from what the Sunnah brought regarding congratulating on marriage, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he would congratulate a man who had married, would say to him:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1091Sahih (Darussalam).
Therefore, it is not permissible for a person to deviate from what the Sunnah brought to what people were doing in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. Accordingly, we say to the one who congratulated a married man with this phrase: "with prosperity and sons."
You have erred when you deviated from what the Sunnah brought to what the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance were doing.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
