Note:
As for celebrating the new Hijri year, it is not reported from the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, that he ever celebrated his Hijrah (migration to Madeenah); neither is this reported from his companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, who undoubtedly were keen on enjoining the good and getting the most reward possible.
The Muslim should follow the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, and stick to his Sunnah and keep away from innovations in religion.
