Offering congratulations for the beginning of Ramadan
Question: 37930
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
There is no specific wording that the Muslim has to use to offer congratulations for the beginning of Ramadan, so it is permissible to offer congratulations in any wordings that are customary among the people, such as saying “Kull ‘aam wa antum bi khayr” and other words that do not contain any meanings that are forbidden in Islam.
And Allah knows best.
