Jum'uah Mubarak?

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

There is no doubt that Friday is an "Eid" or "festival" for the Muslims, as it says in the hadeeth narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "This is a day of 'Eid that Allah has ordained for the Muslims, so whoever comes to Jumu'ah, let him do ghusl, and if he has any perfume let him put some on, and you should use the miswaak." Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 1098; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said, describing the special virtues of Friday:

Thirteen: It is a day of 'Eid that is repeated every week.

Zaad al-Ma'aad, 1/369

Thus the Muslims have three Eids: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, which come once every year, and Jumu'ah which is repeated once every week.

Secondly:

With regard to the Muslims congratulating one another on the occasions of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, this is prescribed and it is narrated from the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them). This has been discussed previously in the answers to questions no. 49021 and 36442. As for congratulating one another on the occasion of Friday, what seems to us to be the case is that it is not prescribed, because the fact that Friday is an Eid was known to the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them), and they were more knowledgeable than us about its virtues, and they were keen to respect it and give it its due, but there is no report to suggest that they used to congratulate one another on Fridays. And all goodness is in following them (may Allah be pleased with them).

Shaykh Saalih ibn Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) was asked: What is the ruling on sending text messages every Friday and ending with the phrase "Jumu'ah mubaarak"?

He replied:

The early generation did not congratulate one another on Fridays, so we should not introduce anything that they did not do.

End quote from Ajwabat As'ilah Majallat al-Da'wah al-Islamiyyah.

A similar fatwa was issued by Shaykh Sulaymaan al-Maajid (may Allah preserve him), when he said:

We do not think it is prescribed to exchange congratulations on Fridays, such as saying to one another, "Jumu'ah mubaarak" and so on, because it comes under the heading of du'aa's and dhikrs, which must be based on a text (of the Qur'aan or Sunnah) because this is purely the matter of worship and if it were good, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would have done it before us. If anyone suggests that this is permissible, then that may imply that it is prescribed to say du'aa's and congratulate one another after having done the five daily prayers and other acts of worship, and du'aa' at these times was not done by the early generations.

If a Muslim prays for his brother on Friday with the intention of softening his heart and making him happy, and seeking the time when supplications are answered, there is nothing wrong with that.

And Allah knows best.

Oh najdiya your spectacles are a bidah, because they were invented after the time of our Nabi.. Najdiya you are one of the horns of the devil that has risen from najd. Check your Hadith you have been foretold.. Change before it is too late, remember there is only one sect to enter jannah, for sure it isn't your sect..

[bagpussDM]

cont..... then shove this idiot in front of a video camera which is also biddah by these idiots definition and try to palm it of as authentic Islamic scholarship....lol By this rate they will be waiting for a donkey with and ear span of 40 foot, ridden by a extremely tall cubed shaped man with one eye!!!!!!!!!!! astagfirollah

WARNING DO NOT LISTEN TO SUCH IDIOTS THEY WILL JUST MAKE YOU CONFUSED FOLLOW PROPER ISLAMIC SCHOLARS LIKE SHAYKH SAYYED MUHAMED YAQOOBI & SHAYKH HABEEB ALI SHAH AL JIFRI

[bagpussDM]

cont.. at same time don't spend the paper money you have in your pocket thats utterly haraam cause non of them were in tiem time of the blesed prophet sallahu alayhi wasalam

This is ht elevel of these stupid wahabi idiots that are not even 150 years old, they contrived witht he british wa kuffar to destroy the islamic khalifate to steal pillage rape and kill muslems to establish a wahabite state called saudi arabic, this is their endemic mark upon history of mankind

[bagpussDM]

cont. that there are 2 types of bidda (like the brother satated earlier) bidda seya (bidda mukafara) and bidda hasana, ibne taymiah establish this in his own writings. For the sake of your own salvation if you don't want to follow our words then follow the words of your own shaykh, allahu akbar!!!! if you follow the logic of this idiot then do not go to umra or hajj by aeroplane (its a bidda), by car or bus (its a bidda) by metal ship (its a bidda),

[bagpussDM]

astaghfirollah more tripe and wahabite shite from this educated bafoon, yainy habiby kefaya (أنت الوهابيين مليئة جدا من القرف ومن المدهش، واعتقد مقالب الشيطان في رأسك كل صباح ومساء، بجد) sayyidina rasoolollah sallahu alayhinwas salam said in sound hadeeth (sa7e7) that friday's yainy juma3a is eid for Muslems, what is the greating for eid a5y nazery? it is Eid "MUBAREK". What is Bidda? astagfirollah this idiot doesnt even know what bidda is!!!! your own shayh ibne taymiyyah harani has stated

@missmillionmaker As per Quran 58:11, inshallah.

[faro0485]

@missmillionmaker Quran 51:55, 58:11, 4:86. Go check it inshallah so that I wouldn't have to refer Quran 25:63 to you.

[faro0485]

@missmillionmaker I think one should go back and actually look closely at what the term bidah implies from the quran and sunnah. Like quran 4:86.

[UmmD93]

@missmillionmaker like i said, "Bid'ah in deen, and bid'ah in dunya matters are 2 seperate things". khalaas.

[UmmD93]

@missmillionmaker wallah? lol habibiti where is your aql ya3ni. Bid'ah in deen, and bid'ah in dunya matters are 2 seperate things. Sub7anAllah Allahu musta3n
