Q: Many people from our community have started saying "Jummah Mubarak", is this correct? Please explain. Answer: There is no recorded evidence or authentic narration that suggests Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) or his Sahaba (companions) used the specific phrase "Jummah Mubarak" to greet each other every Friday. Similarly, there is no evidence that Mehdi (AHS) or his Sahba used to say it. Saying "Jummah Mubarak" is neither prohibited nor mandatory. It may be said, but it shouldn't be made mandatory or a practice. Allah (SWT) Knows Best.
