The Ruling on Congratulating the Arrival of the Month of Ramadan

This listener, Abu Badi, from Riyadh says: Your Eminence, on the first day of the month of Ramadan, after the midday prayer, the people of the mosque exchanged greetings and congratulations with one another for the entry of the noble month. One of the brothers objected to them, saying that greetings and congratulations are only for the festivals. Is his statement correct? And is it permissible to congratulate one another on the arrival of Ramadan?
Answer: There is nothing wrong with it; I do not know of any harm in it. It is a noble month containing great good, so congratulating one another for it is permissible, and praise be to Allah. It is like congratulating one another for a child, a good house, returning from a journey, or being safe. All these are matters among Muslims that are permissible. It is like what Allah said regarding a woman who permits her husband: [Al-Nisa: 4]. Yes.
The presenter: Your Eminence! Are there specific formulas or phrases for the congratulations?
The Shaykh: May Allah bless you in the month, or may the arrival of the month be a joy to you, or may the attainment of the month be a joy to you, or something similar to that.
The presenter: Or "Blessed be this month"?

The Shaykh: All of it is good.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence.
