Assalam o Alaikum
Respectable scholar,
Please guide us. Is it valid to convey greetings to Muslims at the start of the new year with blessing prayers, saying happy new year?
If yes, please guide us the Islamic way in this regard.
The Answer: One who greets the new year, is happy that Allah Almighty gave us another year in which we can have the opportunity of repentance and good deeds. This greeting is the expression of happiness and paying thanks to Allah. Hence, there is no issue in the greeting of a new year.
There are six rights of a Muslim on another, including greeting him when he gets happiness. In a narration of Abdullah bin Hisham Raziallah Anhu, registered by Imam Tibrani, in which he says that on the arriving of the new month or new year, the companions of the Prophet used to teach each other this Dua. O Allah, enter us into this with blessing and peace. Save us from the evil attacks and give us your consent.
Conclusion: It is very difficult for us that celebrating happy new year is haram or forbidden. Being in the limits provided by Sharia, you can greet happy new year and share your feeling with your friends. However, fireworks and similar actions that can harm innocent people and kids are completely invalid and one should avoid. Islam doesn't forbid its followers to live with joy and to enjoy their life.
