*Some Common Doubts and Misconceptions Affiliated with the Day of ‘Īd and Their Clarification*
Doubt/Misconception 02: The ʿĪd Greeting: “May Allāh Accept Your Good Deeds and Mine” Was Legislated by Allāh’s Messenger
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān (حفظه الله) said: “Nothing has been reported from the Prophet (ﷺ) about the ʿĪd Greeting; however, some of the Salaf, greeting each other, would say: ‘May Allāh accept your good deeds.’ Furthermore, Imām Aḥmad (رحمه الله) said: ‘I don’t initiate it, but if someone did, I would respond.’”

Shaykh ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Bāz (رحمه الله) stated: “There isn't any problem for a Muslim to say to his fellow Muslim brother on the day of ‘Īd or any other day: ‘May Allāh accept our good deeds.’ I’m unaware of any [specific] text to support this [supplication]; however, the believer should supplicate for his fellow Muslim brother utilizing good supplications because of the many [general] proofs that support this.”
