Someone asked Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen about saying Ramadan Kareem.

He answered:

A. The ruling of that is that the statement 'Ramadan kareem' is not correct. Rather it should be said 'Ramadan Mubarak', or whatever is similar to it, because it is not Ramadan itself that gives so that it can be kareem (generous), in fact it is Allah who placed the grace in it, and made it a special month, and a time to perform one of the pillars of Islam.

It is as if the one saying this thinks that the sacredness of the time allows him to commit transgressions. This is turning around what the people of knowledge have said that bad deeds are greater at special times and places, the opposite of what the one saying this imagines. They say that it is obligatory to fear Allah - the honourable and majestic - at all times, and in all places, especially in special times and special places.

Allah - the honourable and majestic - says,

O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2). [2:183]


Allah shows that the wisdom of fasting is taqwa (piety) of Allah - the honourable and majestic - by fulfilling His commandments and avoiding His prohibitions. It has been ascertained from the Prophet (pbuh) that he said, "Whosoever does not leave speaking falsehood, or acting with it or ignorance, then Allah has no need that he leaves his food and drink." Fasting is cultivation of the self, guarding it from the prohibitions of Allah, and not as this ignoramus says that due to the sacredness and blessing of this month it allows commiting transgressions.

From a collection of the Shaykh Ibn al-'Uthaymeen's fatwas, As`ilah wa ajwibah 'an alfaaz wa mafaaheem fee meezaan al-sharee'ah ("Questions and Answers on Expressions and Concepts in the Scale of the Shariah") printed by Maktab al-Da'wah of Britain.

Saying Ramadan Mubarak:

Some scholars believe that it is lawful for Muslims to congratulate each other for the entering of Ramadan by saying "Ramadan Mubarak " and the like.
Their evidence for this is the Hadith reported by Ahmad that the Prophet peace be upon him said:

"…. A blessed (Mubarak) month has shadowed you …".

Ibn Rajab said that this Hadith is an evidence for the lawfulness of congratulating one another for the coming of Ramadan'.

“Giving a greeting for the start of Ramadan is (not) Bidah! The Prophet [ﷺ] greeted! Ibn Rajab, Alsuyooty, Ahmad, Shafeey and others permitted it.”

— Shaykh Ahmad Jibril

"Al-Muhaddith ‘Abdullâh as-Sa’d mentioned there is nothing authentic to say we congratulate the entrance of Ramadân, not by the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and not by his companions. But he said there is goodness in supplicating for each other, like asking Allâh to aid us in our fasting and night prayers, to make us from those whose deeds are accepted, to give victory to the muslims, and similar things" —Via Ahlus-Sunnah

'Umar Ibn Khattab's instructions for the first of Ramadan

It is reported that on the first night of Ramaḍān, ‘Umar – رضي الله عنه– would pray Maghrib, then say (to the people):


Sit down. Then he would give a small address:


Verily the fasting of this month has been made a duty upon you, and standing in night prayer has not been made a duty upon you, but those amongst you who can stand in prayer should do so, for it is from the extra good deeds about which الله told us: so whoever cannot stand in prayer, let him sleep on his bed.


And beware of saying: I will fast if so and so fasts and I will stand in night prayer if so and so stands in prayer. Whoever fasts or stands in night prayer, he must make this for الله. And you should know that you are in prayer as long as you are waiting for a prayer.


Minimize any vain or false speech in the houses of الله (mosques; he said this two or three times).


Let none of you fast a few days before the month (in order to avoid missing the beginning of the month; he said this three times).


And do not fast until you see [the crescent of the new month] unless it is overcast. If it is overcast, count [the previous month] as 30 days. Then do not break your fasts until you see the night upon the mountain (i.e. you are sure the sun has set).

A SUMMARY OF HOW THE PROPHET ﷺ PRAYED WITR

(a) He (ﷺ) does not sit (for Tashahhud) and say the Taslīm in the 8th Rak'ah if offering 9 Raka'āt. Rather, he recites the Tashahhud in the 9th Rak'ah and says the Taslīm.

(b) If praying 7 Raka'āt, he (ﷺ) does sit in the 6th Rak'ah but without saying the Taslīm. Then he sits in the 7th Rak'ah for it.

(c) Not sitting except in the 5th Rak'ah, if offering 5 Rak'ah of Witr.

(d) If he (ﷺ) prays 3 Raka'āt of Witr, this was done in two ways:
First: Saying the Taslīm after two Raka'āt, then praying one Rak’ah on its own, i.e; separately.
Second: To pray 3 Raka'āt in a continuous manner.

No problem arises in the first way. However, in the second way, there is no sitting (for Tashahhud) except in the last Tashahhud. This is due to this Hadīth of the Prophet ﷺ concerning Witr.
« لاَ تَشَبَّهُوا بِصَلاَةِ المَغْرِبِ »
"Do not make it (Witr) resemble Maghrib."

Narrated by Ibn Hibbān, Dāraqutnī, Al-Hākim and Al-Bayhaqī. There's no problem in the chain of transmitters.

◾️The minimum number of Raka'āt for a perfect Witr is 3.

(e) However, praying 1 Rak'ah of Witr is also proven.

(All these numbers [number of Raka'āt in Witr] are proven from Ahādīth in Sahīh Muslim)

Shaykh Sulaymân al-‘Alwân said:

Tarâwîh is night prayer, so if he finishes from the witr salâh, he says [Subhân al-Mâlik al-Quddûs] 3 times, and as for the narration in which [Rabb al-Malâ’ikah war-Rûh] is mentioned, then it is shâdh

[BENEFIT]: Abû ‘Abdillâh al-Hâshimî said you stretch the 3rd time you say it and ‘Abdullâh as-Sa’d said you prolong the 3rd time you say it. Al-Hasanî and al-‘Adawî mentioned that also, to basically stretch the last time you say it.
Shaykh Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ al-'Uthaymīn رحمه الله said: "The fasting person should also thank Allah for blessing them to be able to see this month.

Many people could not reap the benefits of this month because they passed away before it came, or they are not performing the obligations of this month.

So they should thank Allah for giving them the chance to receive forgiveness, and uplifting in status."

Hadith

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِيُّ، قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَخْرٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، مَوْلَى زَائِدَةَ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقُولُ ‏

‏ الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ وَرَمَضَانُ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ مُكَفِّرَاتٌ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ إِذَا اجْتَنَبَ الْكَبَائِرَ ‏"

‏ ‌‏

Abu Huraira reported:

Verily the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The five (daily) prayers and from one Friday prayer to the (next) Friday prayer, and from Ramadhan to Ramadhan are expiations for the (sins) committed in between (their intervals) provided one shuns the major sins.

Imagine the ajr of the combined virtues of Friday and Ramadan!


“Hasanaat and sayi’aat are multiplied in a special place such as Makkah, Madeenah and Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and in the mosques; and at special times such as on Fridays, during the sacred months and in Ramadaan. With regard to the multiplication of hasanaat, this is a matter concerning which there is no scholarly difference of opinion.."

Mataalib Uli al-Nuha (2/385)
Ibn Mas'ūd رضي الله عنه said:

"The leader of all days is Friday and the leader of all months is Ramadān."

Half way through Ramadān


Al-Hasan al-Basri رحمه الله stated:

Certainly, Allāh has made the [blessed] month of Ramadān a race course for His creation to race therein [to compete] in the obedience to Him towards His pleasure. Therefore the people who are the forerunners, then they have [certainly] succeeded and the others who fail to keep up with others, they will be in regret. Therefore, it is astounding the one who is fond of joking and constantly laughing on the Day wherein the doers of good succeed and the losers are [truly] deprived and cease to retain their intended result.

I asked Shaykh Abû ‘Abdillâh al-Hâshimî: Is there a difference between raising the hands in Qunût al-Witr and Qunût an-Nâzilah?

He said: Do not raise the hands in both of them.

I said: Shaykh Sulaymân al-‘Alwân said that is it authentic from ‘Umar that he raised his hands in Qunût. Is this report from ‘Umar weak according to you?

He said: It is not authentic.
Last ten days begin after breaking the fast of 20th (so starting from Maghrib of Thursday (March 20) Insha Allah)
