Congratulations among Muslims on the New Year

Question
What is the ruling on saying 'Happy New Year' among Muslims during the New Year?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to say: "Every year and you are well" on any day, and it is permissible due to the beginning of a new Gregorian year; because it is not related to any other beliefs, but rather it is an occasion for the start of a year, and God knows best.
