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.

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."

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.

Answer
“It is permissible for the person performing iʿtikāf to go home to eat if there is no one to bring him food. If there is someone to bring him food at the mosque, then he should not leave, because the person performing iʿtikāf only leaves for an unavoidable reason.
As for bathing, if it is for ritual impurity (janābah), then he must leave, because ghusl (ritual bathing) is essential. If it is not for ritual impurity (janābah), just to cool down, then he should not leave, because this is something he can do without. If it is to remove a odor that is difficult for him to get rid off, then he may leave. Therefore, going out for ghusl falls into three categories: obligatory, permissible, and prohibited.”
— Ibnul ʿUthaymīn (text)
Question
Does the person performing i'tikaf leave for the purpose of performing ghusl? Does this ruling vary according to the ruling on ghusl? May Allah reward you.
Answer
“Yes, it is permissible for him to leave if he is performing an obligatory ghusl (ritual bath). It is better to delay leaving the mosque to perform ghusl until he has a need to fulfill basic human needs (i.e., urination or defecation) so that he can perform ghusl in conjunction with them.
However, if the ghusl is not obligatory, or if he wants to freshen up, then he is not permitted to leave the iʿtikāf for this purpose. If he leaves for that reason, his iʿtikāf will be invalidated.
The basic principle is to stay in the mosque and not leave it. He should not leave except for matters that evidence indicates are permissible. For those situations permitted by Sharīʿah law, such as leaving the mosque for Friday ghusl or due to iḥtilām (unintentional ejaculations that occur during sleep), he leaves in these cases because he is commanded to do so, and commanded to not to remain in the mosque. So he performs ghusl for major ritual impurity.
And Allah Almighty knows best.”
— Muḥammad bin Muḥammad Al-Mukhtār al-Shanqīṭī (audio)
So the muʿtakif should only go to such an area for necessity only, because it is not considered part of masjid.
Allah Knows best.
