May Allah accept your prayers. How to celebrate the holiday. Visiting family and friends

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, peace and blessings of Allah be upon our prophet Muhammad, members of his family and all his companions!

There is a type of congratulation transmitted from the companions, but after holiday prayer(‘Eid).

Jubair ibn Nafir said: “When the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) met on the day of the holiday, they said to each other: “May Allah accept from us and from you.”. at-Tabarani 22/52. Hafiz Ibn Hajar and Imam al-Suyuty called the isnad good. See “Fathul-Bari” 2/517.

تَقَبلَ اللهُ مِنا وَمِنْكُمْ

“Takabbala-Allahu minna wa minkum.”
Muhammad ibn Ziyad said: “ I was with Abu Umama al-Bahili and other companions of the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and they, returning from the holiday prayer, said to each other: “May Allah accept from us and from you.” al-Baihaqi in “Sunan al-kubra” 3/320. Imam Ahmad, Hafiz al-Suyuty and Sheikh al-Albani called the isnad good.
Adham told: “We said to ‘Umar ibn ‘Abdul-Aziz on the days of two holidays: “Taqabbala-Allahu minna wa mink, O Commander of the Faithful!”, and he answered the same and did not condemn it" al-Bayhaqi. See in “al-Howi” 1/112, Imam al-Suyuta.
‘Ali ibn Thabit said: “ I once asked Imam Malik about the words of people on the day of ‘Eid: “”, and he said: “This matter has always been with us, and we do not see anything wrong with it!” Imam Ibn Hibban in “as-Siqat” 9/90.
It is also reported that Imam Ahmad said about congratulations on the day of ‘Eid: “This is what the companions did and the scholars spoke about this.” See al-Insaf 5/381.
The fact that messages from the salaf regarding the type of greeting are mentioned in the established version, namely: “ Takabbala-Allahu mina wa mink ", indicates that this type of greeting should not be replaced with any other type.
As for the common type of congratulations, like: “ Kullu ‘am wa antum bi khair ”, “eid mubarak”, etc., then this type of congratulation is not transmitted from any of the companions and their followers (tabi'un), and there is no basis for this in Islam, as Sheikh al-Albani said. Sl. “Silsilatul-huda wa-nnur” 52.

Asked : What is the form of congratulations on the blessed Feast of Sacrifice? We know what people say to each other on the day of the Feast of Breaking the Fast: “May Allah accept righteous deeds from us and from you” (Takabbala Allahu minna wa minkum Salihul a’mal), but what should we say on the Feast of Sacrifice?

Answer: There is no specific limited form for this. You can say “May Allah accept from us and from you” (takabbala Allahu minna wa minkum), or “May your holiday be blessed” (Idukum mubarak), or “Blessed is your holiday” (Al-Eid mubarak), or “May Allah do blessed is your celebration” (Ja'ala Allahu Idukum Mubarak) - it doesn’t matter whether it is on the Feast of Sacrifice or on the Feast of Breaking the Fast. And the same with regard to the Hajj: “May your Hajj be accepted” (Hajjuka Maqbul), “May Allah accept from you” (Takabbala Allahu mink), “May your Umra be accepted” (Umratuqa Maqbul) - this and similar things are enough, because there is no specific limited form for it. As for the holidays of polytheists and Christians, you cannot congratulate them on this and you cannot participate with them in their holidays. And if it happens that you will be where there is a regular holiday of non-Muslims, such as Christians and others, then do not congratulate them on this, and do not participate in the celebration with them, and do not come there, because in this there is a likeness to them, and there is contentment with their false holidays. Muslims have only two regular holidays: the Feast of Sacrifice and the Feast of Breaking the Fast. And the days of Hajj are also called Eid, the day of standing on Arafat and the days of Tashriq are called Eid because they are regular and worship Allah on those days. As for the regular holidays of polytheists from among Christians and others, it is not allowed to attend them, congratulate them on them and sell greeting cards for them, because all this is condemned. We ask Allah for true guidance and success for everyone."Fataua Nurun ala Ddarb"

Asked : What is the position of congratulations on a regular holiday? And is there a specific form for it?

Answer: Congratulations on a regular holiday are allowed, there is no special limited form for it, and what is in the customs of people regarding this is allowed, if in itself it is not a sin...

Also replied sheikh : Congratulations on the onset of Eid are conveyed from some companions, may Allah be pleased with them. And it is not obligatory, but relates to the customs of people; they congratulate each other on the arrival of Eid and on the completion of fasting and night prayers of the month of Ramadan.

Also asked him, may Allah have mercy on him: What is the position of shaking hands, hugging and congratulating after Eid prayer?

Answer:There is no problem with this because people do not do this as a form of worship or in order to get closer to Allah Almighty through it, but they do it according to custom, showing respect and kindness. And customs do not cease to be permitted until they pass the prohibitions of Sharia. “Majmua fatawa Ibni Uthaymeen”, vol. 16, p. 208 – 210.

They asked an outstanding scientist Saliha al-Fawzan , may Allah protect him:

Question: “ TO When the month of Ramadan arrives, we often hear people wish each other barakah on the occasion of its arrival, saying: “Mabrouk ‘alaika shahru ramadan” (“May you have a lot of barakah this month”). Is there a basis for this in Sharia?

Answer: “There is no problem with congratulating the arrival of Ramadan, since the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, pleased his companions with the advent of Ramadan and encouraged them to try to do as many good deeds as possible. As the Almighty said: “Say: “This is the mercy and mercy of Allah.” Let them rejoice in this, for it is better than that what they accumulate” (Surah Yunus, verse 58).

Congratulations associated with the arrival of this month and joy in honor of it indicate a desire for good. And our salafs rejoiced each other with the arrival of this month, following in this the prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. How it came in the long hadith of Salman, in which the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Oh, people has come to you blessed month…»“.

Fatwa number: 1744
Title of the fatwa: “Congratulations on the arrival of the month of Ramadan”

In addition to the answer of Sheikh Fawzan, we will quote a hadith from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, in which it is reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “ Ramadan, a blessed month, has come to you! The Almighty and Great Allah has prescribed fasting for this month! In it the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained! And Allah has one night in this month that is better than a thousand months. And the one who is deprived of the blessings of this night is deprived!"An-Nasai 2106. The hadith is reliable. See “at-Ta’liq al-gharib” 2/69.

Hafiz Ibn Rajab , citing this hadith, he said: “ The Messenger of Allah rejoiced his companions with the onset of Ramadan. And some scholars said: “This hadith is the basis for the permissibility of people congratulating each other on the onset of the month of Ramadan.”" See “Lataiful-ma'arif” 156.

And in conclusion, praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!

May Allah accept you and us!

Happy Eid al-Fitr to all Muslims! Takabbala Allahu minna wa minkum!

It came from the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) that they congratulated each other on the holiday and said: “Takabbala Allahu minna wa minkum"- May Allah accept you and us!

It is narrated from Jubeir ibn Nufeir that he said: “The companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when meeting on the holiday of the end of Ramadan said to each other: تقبل الله منا و منكم - Takabbala Allah minna wa minkum - may Allah accept you and us! Amine!

Happy holiday to you and your loved ones! I wish you happiness in both worlds, patience, good fortune and useful knowledge. May the Almighty accept our fasting, prayers, dua and other worship and may He help us continue to do good deeds, generously reward us for them and bring us into Paradise by His mercy! May He deliver us and our families from the Fire, lead us all on the straight path and help us to work diligently and beneficially in His path in the hope of gaining His pleasure! And may the Almighty help our brothers and sisters in all corners of the globe and may He make it easier for each of us to endure earthly trials and reckoning in the eternal world! Amine!

Question: Some brothers say "May Allah accept" after praying, and I know that this is a bid'ah, but I would like to know the details: why is this a bid'ah? Which of the scholars said that this is bid'ah? Because many of those who don’t know, when they are told “bid’a,” are offended and say: “This is a prayer that Allah will accept your prayer!”

Answer: Praise be to Allah

Firstly: The basis for assessing actions related to worship - whether they are Sunnah or Bid'a (innovation) - is the fact of whether they were transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or not. And what was from the teachings of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is the Sunnah, and what was not the religion of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companions is not a religion for us today.
Abu Dawud (4607) and others reported from Irbada ibn Sariyat, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever of you lives after me will see many disagreements, so adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the caliphs led the right way, and the righteous, hold on to it (firmly) and grab onto it with your molars (i.e., hold on to it tightly), and beware of innovations in deeds, verily, every innovation is a bidaa and every bidaa is a delusion! The authenticity of the hadith was confirmed by Al-Albani. Hafiz Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “The adherents of the Sunnah and the community say in relation to every action and word that has not been established reliably from the Companions: “It is bidaa, because if it were good, then they would have been ahead of us in this, because they did not abandon any of the good deeds, except they hastened to do it.” See Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 7/278-279.

Sheikh al-Fawzan said: “There are many innovations introduced into worship in our time; because the basis of worship is abstinence (i.e. limitation to what the Shariah has legalized), therefore none of them can be legalized except with proof, and that which does not have proof is bidaa, according to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah bless him): “Whoever commits an act that was not indicated by us, it will be rejected.” Reported by al-Bukhari (2697) and Muslim (1718). And there are a lot of worships that are performed now and have no basis.” See “Bid'ah: types and provisions” by Sheikh al-Fawzan, 14/15.
Secondly: They asked Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him): What is your opinion, most respected sheikh, about the handshake and the words “May Allah accept” immediately after performing the prayer?

He replied: “There is no basis for shaking hands and saying “May Allah accept” after completing the prayer, and this was not conveyed either from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or from his companions, may Allah be pleased with them. See Ibn Uthaymin's Collection of Fatwas and Letters (171/13).

He was also asked: “There are people who complement dhikr after performing prayer, for example, they say: “May Allah accept,” or say after ablution: “Zamzam.” What do you say about this? May Allah protect you."

He replied: “This is not dhikr, but it is a prayer when they finish the prayer and say: “May Allah accept from you.” Despite this, we believe that a person should not do this either after ablution, or after prayer, or after drinking zamzam water, because such actions, if performed, may be mistaken for the Sunnah, and unreasonably legitimized.” See Ibn Uthaymin's Collection of Fatwas and Letters, (211/13).

We need to pay attention to wisdom and gentleness in clarifying issues that many people are not aware of. They are convinced that this is just a dua and that it is not a bidaa, so you should be tactful in such matters, answer his prayer for you by saying a prayer for him or saying “May Allah reward you” or something similar , and then clarify to him with gentleness the Sunnah in this matter. At-Tirmidhi (2738) narrated from Nafia that a man sneezed next to Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, and he said: “Praise be to Allah, and peace be upon the Prophet of Allah.” Ibn Umar said: “And I say, “Praise be to Allah and peace be upon the Prophet of Allah,” but this is not what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught us. He taught us to say: “Praise be to Allah in any condition.” Sheikh al-Albani said that this is a good hadith. Look how Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, explained to him that such a word is not rejected in itself, but the abandonment of the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), its implementation, or the habit of saying these words as the Sunnah is rejected. And pay attention to his gentleness with the one who made a mistake, and his politeness towards him, indicating the place of the Sunnah in such a situation. See also the answer to question No. 1884.
