What is more appropriate as a Ramadan greeting? Ramadan Mubarak or
Ramadan Kareem ?

(May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be with you!)

The difference between the two is that the phrase Ramadan Mubarak is appropriate and
Ramadan Kareem is not. As how Shaykh ibn- al'Uthaymeen explained, it is only Allah ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﻪ ﻭ ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ (Glory be to Him, the Most High) that put goodness in Ramadan, made it a virtuous month and made the time period for performing the fasting a pillar of Islam.

Ramadan on the other hand is not the one that gives such that it can be called generous
(Kareem) .

Ramadan Kareem is not a greeting as far as I believe. Its just a statement like, “Ramadan Kareem has arrived” which means the blessed month of Ramadan has arrived.

Kareem means “Generous” and so Ramadan Kareem means, “Generous Ramadan” , which is not a greeting actually. Its an additional thing we add with “Ramadan” to show its sacredness.

“Ramadan Mubarak” is more appropriate because Mubarak means
“Blessed”

“Mubarak” is something we add after a happy occasion such as “Eid Mubarak”.

Also in Pakistan when someone achieve some target they say
“Mubarak” to him,
“Gadi laina par Mubarak ho” which means
“Mubarak for buying a car”

“Betay kay test main pass honay par Mubarak ho” which means “Mubarak for your son passing the test.”

I have seen people use both but this is what that is really appropriate.

May Allah help us all.
