The ruling on congratulating others by saying “Blessed Friday” on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a Muslim saying to another Muslim “Blessed Friday” every Friday via mobile phone messages or in forums?
Answer:
This has no basis and is a religious innovation (bid'ah). It is not permissible to congratulate people on Friday. Nothing has been reported regarding this, and it was not the practice of the Salaf (the earliest generations). Therefore, it is an innovation, and the innovators (mubtadi') are currently exploiting mobile phones and the internet, as they claim, and using them to promote innovations in this manner.
