Question

Is it permissible to greet another Muslim by saying ‘Jumuah Mubaarak’ or ‘Eid Mubaarak’ on the day of Jumuah and on the day of Eid?

Answer

There is no record of the Sahaabah Radhiyallahu anhum regularly greeting each other with these words.

Therefore, it should not be practiced in such a manner or with such regularity that an impression is created that it is Sunnah or compulsory.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

6. If the saffs (rows) are already filled, do not jump over the shoulders of the musallies (worshippers) in order to get to the front. (Abu Dawood)

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam said:“There is a moment on Friday that if any Muslim makes dua in it, his dua will definitely be accepted.” (Bukhari)

12. Increase sending Durood on Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam. (Abu Dawood)
