With regard to the greeting on the day of Eid, which people say to one another when meeting after the prayer, “Taqabbal Allaahu minna wa minkum wa ahaalahu Allaah ‘alayka (May Allaah accept (this worship) from us and from you and may you live to see another Eid)” etc, this was narrated from a number of the Sahaabah who used to do that. We pray for peace and blessings on all the noble messengers and in particular on the last of them all “the blessed prophet Mohammad (pbuh)”. If anyone greets you with the greeting “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum” you should reply with the same greeting “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum”. And Allah alone knows the best. Praise be to Allah. It was narrated that that Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) used to congratulate one another on the occasion of Eid by saying Taqabbal Allaahu minna wa minkum (May Allaah accept (this worship) from us and from you). It was narrated that Jubayr ibn Nufayr said: When the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) met one another on the day of Eid, they would say to one another: “Taqabbal Allaahu minna wa mink (May.

Praise be to Allah.

Firstly:

The basic principle with regard to rulings on matters ofworship is that they are either Sunnah or bid‘ah (innovation), i.e., theywere either narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be uponhim) or they were not. Whatever was the practice of the Prophet (blessingsand peace of Allah be upon him) is Sunnah, and whatever was not part of thereligion at the time of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be uponhim) and his Companions is not part of the religion for us today.

Abu Dawood (4607) and others narrated that al-‘Irbaad ibnSaariyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever among you livesafter I am gone will see great disputes; you must adhere to my Sunnah andthe way of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. Hold on to it and cling fast to it.And beware of newly-invented matters, for every newly-invented matter is aninnovation and every innovation is a going astray.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.

Al-Haafiz Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa‘ah describe every deed or word thatis not proven to be from the Sahaabah as an innovation (bid‘ah), because itwere good, they would have done it before us, for they did not leave anygood deed but they hastened to do it. End quote.

Tafseer Ibn Katheer(7/278-279)

Shaykh al-Fawzaan said:

The innovations that have been introduced in the field ofacts of worship in the current era are many, because the basic principleconcerning acts of worship is tawqeef[i.e., they can only be known through divine Revelation andsound texts of Qur’an and hadith, with no room for personal opinion].So no act of worship can be regarded as Islamically prescribed except on thebasis of evidence. So long as there is no evidence for it, then it is aninnovation, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)said: “Whoever introduces something into this matter of ours that is notpart of it will have it rejected.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2697) and Muslim(1718).

The acts of worship that are done nowadays, for which thereis no evidence, are many indeed… End quote.

Al-Bid‘ah ‘Anwaa‘uha wa Ahkaamuha,in Majmoo‘ah Mu’allafaat al-Fawzaan (14/15)

Secondly:

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) wasasked:

What is your opinion on shaking hands and saying “TaqabbalAllah (May Allah accept it)” immediately after finishing the prayer?

He replied:

There is no basis for shaking hands or saying “Taqabbal Allah(May Allah accept it)” after finishing the prayer; that was not narratedfrom the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or from hisCompanions (may Allah be pleased with them). End quote.

Majmoo‘ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il Ibn ‘Uthameen(13/171)

He was also asked:

There are some people who add things to the adhkaar followingthe prayer, such as when some of them say “Taqabbal Allah (May Allah acceptit)”; or after doing wudoo’ they say “Zamzam.” What do you think?

He replied:

This does not come under the heading of dhikr; rather this isa kind of du‘aa’, when a person finishes (the prayer) and says “TaqabbalAllah mink (May Allah accept it from you).” Nevertheless, we do not thinkthat people should do this, either after wudoo’ or after the prayer, orafter drinking Zamzam water, because if you do such things, it may becomesomething that people do regularly and think it is prescribed, for lack ofknowledge. End quote.

However, it should be noted that one should be wise andgentle in explaining such matters, concerning which many people may beunaware of the implications, because they think that it is simply a du‘aa’and does not come under the heading of innovation. Part of good etiquette insuch matters is to respond to the other person’s du‘aa’ for you by saying adu‘aa’ for him, or by saying to him “Jazaak Allahu khayran (may Allah rewardyou with good)” and the like, then gently explain to him the Sunnah withregard to such matters.

At-Tirmidhi (2738) narrated from Naafi‘ that a man sneezednext to Ibn ‘Umar and said “Al-hamdu Lillah wa as-salaam ‘ala RasoolAllah (praise be to Allah and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah).”

Jawaban Taqaballahu Minna Wa Minkum

Ibn ‘Umar said: “And I say: Praise be to Allah and peace beupon the Messenger of Allah, but this is not how the Messenger of Allah(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) taught us; rather he taught us tosay: ‘Al-hamdu Lillah ‘ala kulli haal (Praise be to Allah in allcircumstances).” Classed as hasan by al-Albaani.

See how Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) explainedto him that such words were not objectionable in and of themselves; ratherwhat was objectionable was ignoring the Sunnah of the Prophet (blessings andpeace of Allah be upon him) and choosing these words instead, or saying them habitually as if they were Sunnah.

Think about the kindness shown to the one who made themistake, and how Ibn ‘Umar softened his heart, whilst pointing out to himthe Sunnah to be followed in this situation.
