“It is not permissible to congratulate people on these occasions, since observing/celebrating them is not legislated.”
-The Standing Committee for Fatwaa in Saudi Arabia

“No, this is bid’ah (innovation), it is not permissible to specify the end of the Hijri year as a holiday, or as a time for specific greetings, phrases of remembrance, or supplications. This is not permissible. The Salaf (early rightly-guided generations of Muslim predecessors) did not do this.”
