When do you send Ramadan greetings?

[Anonymous]

Is it like a morning of thing, like Easter? At nightfall? Or is it more non-specific, like how you can kind of wish someone “Merry Christmas” at any point from December 20 through December 30 and it’s correct (or all of December, basically). I know you don’t do it for all the days of Ramadan but I want to say it at the “right” time.

was wondering this too. Can I say Ramadan Mubarak all throughout Ramadan or just say Eid Mubarak on the last day Eid??

Most often Ramadan greetings are said at the beginning of the month, but if it’s someone you don’t see/talk to very often, then anytime during the month is fine.
As for Eid greetings, those are usually said in the last couple of days before Eid or on the day of/day or two after.

PP - wanted to add that it’s not necessary to give Ramadan greetings every day, just once is fine.
Ramadan Mubarak!

Muslim here - usually it is said at the beginning of Ramadan, but any time during the month is also fine, especially if you only see that person during later days in Ramadan.

Either way, the recipient will very much appreciate the wishes!

At the beginning of the month - first week or so you can say ramadan mubarak. Last week of Ramadan it’s probably better to say eid mubarak or an “early eid mubarak.” That being said can cam also say ramadan Mubarak anytime during the months. Probably best to preface it with “belated.”

Thanks all. I did end up saying it on the first day (or first day that I saw people, anyway).

Now to try and remember how to pronounce “Mubarak” correctly for Eid Mubarak. I am actually learning Arabic, slowly, but I my pronunciation is terrible and embarrassing.
