IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE 579: STATUS HADIS MENGUCAPKAN TAHNIAH PADA HARI RAYA

Is there a hadith about the Eid greeting "taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum" on the morning of Eid, and what is its status?

Short answer

The narration attributing this greeting to the Prophet is very weak, and the stronger view is that it is only a mauquf report from a companion.

Summary

The narration attributing this greeting to the Prophet is very weak, and the stronger view is that it is only a mauquf report from a companion. Nevertheless, the greeting is permissible based on other reports, graded hasan, showing that the companions greeted one another this way on Eid. Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani held it to be prescribed since the many reports can be relied on in matters of virtuous deeds, while al-Munziri considered it permissible, neither recommended nor an innovation.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Walau bagaimanapun diharuskan untuk mengucapkannya berdasarkan riwayat-riwayat lain yang menunjukan para sahabat saling mengucapkan ucapan tahniah tersebut pada hari raya dan riwayat ini berstatus hasan.
