Are we better than the sahaba ekram RADIALLAHU ANHUM AJMAIN? Mufti Abdul Aziz bin Bazz(Rahimullah) 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. Just a remindinder for those who know and an awerness for those who dont.
