Question

What is the ruling on greeting people every Friday with Jumuah Mubarak? Is it permissible?

I understand that it was not part of the sunnah of our Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and his companions never practised it.

Answer

This is a baseless practice.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
