Answer	W.Salam,we are extremely sorry for late reply because of some functional problems in our web site.We will reply u soon next time Insh-Allah 1) No reliable text (hadeeth) has been specifically transmitted about the day of Nowrooz as being an Islamic religious festival or one of the blessed days in Islamic law, however, there is no problem in celebrating it and visiting each other. 2) It is the first day of the solar year. 3) Officially, the Islamic solar calendar - which starts from the migration of the Holy Prophet of Islam (s.) from Mecca to Medina - is used. Lunar one is also used. Ref: Isteftat Aqa-e-Khamenai.
