As far as I know kareem is sunnah, but I am not expert at it. I just know a lot of pakistanis say Mubarak instead of Kareem.

Kareem is Sunnah? any proof?

From what i know Pakistanis mostly in my area use both. and kareem is mostly famous in the Arab world!

I seen a fatwa recently from the Salafis (Ibn 'Uthaymeen) stating that Ramadhan Kareem would mean the Shahr (Ramadhan) is Generous (Kareeem) while it is Allah who is Kareem.

So my question is, it is well known amongst the Arab world to call a noble brother "Ya Akhi al-Kareem", would this then be wrong?
