Q
Can Muslims say 'Merry Christmas' for co-workers?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
1- If a phrase like ‘Merry Christmas‘ conveys a theology that is against the teachings of Islam, then we cannot say that phrase.
2- However, if the phrase is generic and we are simply saying you know may you have a good day today, then these types of generic phrases are permitted in Islam.
