#Friday Friday #Jumma Jumma #Jummah Jummah

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.
End quote from the Shaykh’s website (may Allah
preserve him)
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.
