Question
What is the ruling on saying Mabrouk? Is it true that it is a name for the devil? And is it more correct to say Mubarak instead?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is well-known that "Mabrouk" is a linguistic error, and the correct term linguistically is "Mubarak." However, it is a common colloquial expression understood by people in its meaning and intent, so it should not be given too much attention; because the discussion about it relates to priority and preference, and God knows best.
