By counting the NSCIA, today is the 30th day of DhulHijjah, 1443AH. Consequently, tomorrow is the first day of the 1444AH Islamic new calendar.

In this thread, we will discuss whether or not it is permissible to offer congratulations at the beginning of the new Islamic year calendar.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on congratulating people on the occasion of the Hijri new year, and how should one reply to a person who offers congratulations?

He replied:

If someone offers you congratulations, then respond to him, but do not initiate such greetings. This is the correct view concerning this matter. So if a person says to you, for example, “Happy New Year”, then you can say, “May Allaah make it a good and blessed year for you.” But you should not initiate such a greeting, because I do not know of any report that the salaf [early generations of Islam] congratulated one another on the occasion of the new year, rather the salaf did not regard the first of Muharram as the first day of the new year until the caliphate of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayr said concerning offering congratulations on the occasion of the hijri new year:

Praying for another Muslim in general terms, in phrases that are not meant as a kind of ritual on special occasions such as Eid, is acceptable, especially if what is meant by this greeting is friendship and to show a friendly face to one’s fellow Muslim. Imaam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “I do not initiate the greeting but if someone greets me I return the greeting, because responding to the greeting is obligatory. But being the first to offer congratulations is neither Sunnah nor forbidden.

Alhamdulillah for the light of Islam.

I am content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) as my Prophet!

Keyword- No New year Greetings in Islam!

What about Barka Da sallah? Is it allowed in Islam?

Yet a lot of Muslims do say it.

Anyway if Muslims are not to offer congratulatory greetings but are expected to respond to greetings, it means they are expecting such greetings from Non-Muslims. Same Non-Muslims it is haram to greet and congratulate during their festivities

What is hypocrisy again?

Islam is very simple. You are just making it complex.

There is nothing wrong with wishing success to your loved ones in the year ahead.

What is being talked about here is in relation to the New Year. Not the two Eids. I hope that this gives some clarity.
