The ruling on the habit of worshippers saying to one another after prayer: May Allah accept it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I hear at the end of the prayer some people saying, when one of them concludes the prayer, that he says to his brother: May Allah the Great accept it, and the other replies: From us and from you, good deeds. Is this from the Sunnah?
Answer:
There is no basis for this; it is not from the Sunnah, and it has no basis. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. Do you advise His Eminence the Shaykh to avoid such phrases, or is there no harm in saying them?
The Shaykh: No, no, one should leave that; because it is not prescribed.
The presenter: It is not prescribed. May Allah reward you with good. What is the difference between this and supplicating for acceptance in deeds? His Eminence the Shaykh.
The Shaykh: If it is occasional, not habitual, doing it at times is fine, like saying to him on the road... May Allah forgive us and you, May Allah accept from us and from you, or when greeting him in the house, or there is no harm. But if he makes it a habit to say this when he concludes the prayer, this is not prescribed; this is a religious innovation. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
