The Best Days of The
Year – First 10 Days of
Dhul Hijjah
Prophet Muhammad (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) said:
“Whoever revives an aspect of my Sunnah that is forgotten after my death, he will have a
reward equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without it detracting in the least from
their reward” [alTirmidhi, 7/443]

A Season of Worship!!!
Verily the praise is for Allaah, we praise Him, and we ask for His Help, and His Forgiveness, and we repent to Him. We seek refuge in Allaah from
the evils of our own selves, and from the sins of our actions. Whoever is guided by Allaah, there is no misguidance for him, and whoever is
misguided by Him, then there is no guide for him. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah alone, without any partners. I testify
that Muhammad is His slave and His messenger. May Allaah blessings be upon him, and upon his family, and his companions, and whoever follows
them in goodness.
Praise be to Allaah Who has created Time and has made some times better than others,
some months and days and nights better than others, when rewards are multiplied many
times, as a mercy towards His slaves. This encourages us to do more righteous deeds and
makes them more eager to worship Him, so that we renew our efforts to gain a greater share
of reward, prepare ourselves for death and supply ourselves in readiness for the Day of
Judgement [Ibn Rajab, alLataa’if, p.8]
Among the special seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhu’lHijjah, which Allaah has
preferred over all the other days of the year. In fact, the first ten days of DhulHijjah represent
an annual chance, in which a faithful servant of Allah is to bring himself nearer to Him, Most
High. These are days of worship, Hajj, charity, peace, sacrifice, and good deeds.
Some of the Virtues of the first 10 days of DhulHijjah
➔ Allaah swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by something is indicative of
its importance and great benefit: “By the dawn; by the ten nights” [alFajr 89:12].
Ibn ‘Abbaas, Ibn alZubayr, Mujaahid (Radhiyallaahu Annhum) and others of the earlier and
later generations said that this refers to the first ten days of Dhu’lHijjah. Ibn Katheer
said: “This is the correct opinion” [Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 8/413].
➔ These days are the “well known” days during which Allaah has legislated that is
permissible to thank Him for the cattle and live stock that He has blessed with
us. Allaah says: “And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to
you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass that they
may witness benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allah on known days
over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals. So eat of them and feed the
miserable and poor” [AlHajj 22: 2728].
Ibn Rajah (Rahimahullaah) said that the majority of the scholars of the opinion that the
meaning of “well known” days is the first 10 days of DhulHijjaah.
➔ Pilgrimage to Makkaah is performed during these days. The Messenger of Allah
(SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) said: “Whoever performs Hajj for Allaah's pleasure, and
does not have sexual relations with his wife, and does not do evil or sins, then he will
return (after Hajj free from all sins) as if it were the day that his mother gave birth ti
him” [AlBukhari Vol 2, Page 347348].
th
➔ Day of Araft falls on the 9 of these days. The Messenger of Allah (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi
wa Sallam) said: “There is no day during which Allaah frees more worshipers from Hell
fire than during the day of Arafat. Verily (on that day Allaah) draws near (i.e, He
descends to the first heaven) and He expresses His pride to the malaika (i.e., about
those who have made pilgrimage seeking His pleasure and forgiveness) saying 'what
they want?' ” [Muslim].
th
➔ YawmunNahar falls on the 10 of these days. The Messenger of Allah (SallallAllahu
'Alaihi wa Sallam) said: “The best days in the sight of Allaah, Blessed He is the most
th
High, is YawmunNahar, then YawmulQarr (the 11 day of DhulHijjaah), the
day in which the pilgrims begin their stay in Mina” [Ahmed, Aboo Dawod, Authenticated by Sheik
AlAlbani].
Historical Importance of the first 10 days of DhulHijjah
➔ Allaah completed the religion of Islaam on the Day of Arafat, which is one of these
days: “This day I have perfected the for you your religion and completed My
favour upon you and have approved for you Islaam as religion” [AlMaida 5: 3].
➔ These days are part of the 40 days that Allaah spent with Musa (Alaihi Salam).
Allaah says: “And We made an appointment with Musa for thirty nights and
perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as
forty nights” [AlA'raf 7:142].
The scholars of tafsir have differed about the ten days that Allaah added to make
period of time that Musa (Alaihi Salam) spent on Mount Sinai 40 days. The majority of the
scholars are of the opinion that the first 30 days were entire month of Dhil Qi'dah, and
the remaining 10 days were the first 10 days of Dhu’lHijjah. This was the opinion of
Mujahid, Masrooq and Ibn Juraij. It has been reported that this was the opinion of Ibn
Abbas (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) ) as well as others [Tafseer Ibn Katheer, vol 2, page 325].
Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) Confirms: “Best Days of the Year”!!!
Prophet Muhammad (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) said:
● “The best days in this worldly life are the (first) ten days (of DhulHijjah)” [Narrated
by AlBazzar. Authenticated by Sheik AlAlbani].]
● “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than
these ten days.” The people asked, “Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah?” He
(SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) said, “Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah, except in
the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the
cause, and came back with nothing” [alBukhaari 2/457].
So let us all hasten towards making use of these valuable days, for gaining the pleasure of
Allaah.
Some of the Most Preferable Deeds a Muslim Should Observe in
These days
➔ Performing Hajj and Umrah: The Messenger of Allah (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam)
said: “Make the Hajj and Umra follow each other closely for they remove proverty
and sins just as a blacksmith's furnace removes impurities from iron, gold and
silver. And there is no reward for a Hajj which is accepted except Jannah” [At
Tirmidhi and authenticated by Sheik AlAlbanee].
➔ Increasing the remembrance of Allaah: As for the preferability of increasing the
remembrance of Allaah during (the first 10 days of DhulHijjaah), the proof can be

found in the Noble Quraan: “mention the name of Allah on known days” [AlHajj 22: 28].
And certainly vast majority of the scholars are of the opinion that “the well known days”
refers to the first 10 days of DhulHijjaah [Ibn Rajab, LataaifulMa'arif page 462].
➔ Saying Takbeer, Tahleel and Tahmeed frequently: Prophet Muhammad (SallallAllahu
'Alaihi wa Sallam) said: “There is no days that are better in the sight of Allaah, and
during which deeds are more beloved to Him than these days (i.e, the first 10
days of DhulHijjaah). So during these days frequently say La Ilaaha Illa Allaah,
Allaahu Akbar and Al Hamdu Lillaah” [Ahmed].
The Takbeer may include the words: “Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, la ilaaha ill
Allaah; wa Allaahu akbar wa Lillaahi’lhamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most
Great, there is no god but Allaah; Allaah is Most Great and to Allaah be
praise)…” as well as other phrases.
Takbeer at this time is an aspect of the Sunnah that has been forgotten,
especially during the early part of this period, so much so that one hardly ever
hears Takbeer, except from a few people. This Takbeer should be pronounced
loudly, in order to revive the Sunnah and as a reminder to the negligent. There is
sound evidence that Ibn ‘Umar and Abu Hurayrah (Radhiyallaahu Annhum) used to go out
in the marketplace during the first ten days of Dhu’lHijjah, reciting Takbeer, and the
people would recite Takbeer when they heard them. The idea behind reminding the
people to recite Takbeer is that each one should recite it individually, not in
unison, as there is no basis in Sharee‘ah for doing this.
➔ Fasting during the first nine days of DhulHijjaah: Hunaiydha Ibn Khalid
(Radhiyallaahu Annhu) narrated upon the authority of his wife : “Some of the wives of
Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) told me that he (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam)
used to fast the Day of Aashoorah, the first nine days of DhulHijjah, and three
days of every month” [Ahmed, An Nasaee].
Imam AnNawwawee said (about fasting on these days): “It is extremely preferable
to do so”.
th
➔ Fasting on the Day of Arafat (9 day of DhulHijjaah): The Messenger of Allah
(SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) said: “Observing fasting on the Day of Arafat; I expect
Allah to expiate the sins that were committed during the preceding year, and the
sins that will be committed in the year after” [Muslim].
➔ Standing the nights in prayer: It is preferable to stand the nights in prayer during the
first 10 days of DhulHijjaah. Imaam AshShafee, as well as other scholars, have said
that it is preferable to do so. Sa'eed ibn Jubair narrated that whenever the first 10 days
of DhulHijjaah began, Ibn Abbas would exert himself to the limits of his ability. It has
been narrated that Ibn Abbas said: “Do not turn out your lamps during the first ten
days of Dhul Hijjaah!”. He was specially bond of worship (during these days) [Ibn Rajab,
LataaifulMa'arif page 462].
➔ Repentance and relinquishing acts of disobedience and all sins: Acts of
disobedience are means of banishing, while acts of obedience are means of gaining
favour with Allaah. The Messenger of Allah (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) said: “Verily
Allah feels jealous, and the jealousy of Allaah is aroused when man violates
what Allaah prohibits” [Bukhari and Muslim].
➔ Accomplishing more good deeds of voluntary observances, such as: salaat,

charity, Jihad, Qur'ânic recitation, enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong, and the
like; for the rewards of such observances are multiplied during these days.
➔ Attending Eid prayer: The Messenger of Allah (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) always

attended Eid prayers in his lifetime. He (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) commanded all the
people to attend Eid prayers, including elderly women, widows in seclusion and women
in their mensuration.
The Muslim must make sure to observe Eid prayer in its designated place, and attend
the khutbah of the Eid. He should also know the purpose of the Eid, and that its a day
of giving thanks and a chance for accomplishing good deeds. He should not turn it
into a day of mischief, disobedience, or an excuse for violating the prohibited
things; such as singing music, illegitimate amusements, consuming liquor, or
the like. All of these things are detestable and nullify the good deeds that one
may have accomplished during the first ten days of DhulHijjah.
➔ Offering the sacrificial animal during the day of sacrifice (Eid) and the Days of
Tashreeq (three days after Eid. 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul Hijjaah):. It is the sunnah
of our father Ibraheem (Alaihi Salam), in commemoration of the occasion when Allaah
ransomed his Ibraheem (Alaihi Salam)'s son with a large ram. It has been authentically
confirmed that the Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) sacrificed two black and white
rams with horns. He (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) killed them with his own hand, and
invoked the name of Allaah upon them, recited the takbeer, and placed his foot on their
sides, when he (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) killed them [Bukhari and Muslim].
==============================
========================

Things That The One Intents to Slaughter Should Avoid
➔ The Sunnah indicates that the one who wants to offer a sacrifice must stop cutting his
hair and nails and removing anything from his skin, from the beginning of the ten days
until after he has offered his sacrifice. The Messenger of Allah (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa
Sallam) said: “When you see the new moon of Dhu’lHijjah, if any one of you wants
to offer a sacrifice, then he should stop cutting his hair and nails until he has
offered his sacrifice” [Muslim].
➔ According to another report he (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) said: “He should not
remove anything from his hair or skin” [Muslim with four isnaads]
➔ If a person does any of these things deliberately, he must seek Allaah’s forgiveness
but is not however required to offer (an extra) sacrifice in expiation; his sacrifice will be
acceptable.
➔ Whoever needs to remove some hair, nails, etc. because it is harming him, such as
having a broken nail or a wound in a site where there is hair, should do so, and there is
nothing wrong with that.
➔ There is nothing wrong with men or women washing their heads during the first ten
days of Dhu’lHijjah, because the Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) only forbade
cutting the hair, not washing it.
➔ If a person has cut his hair or nails during the first ten days of Dhu’lHijjah because he
was not planning to offer a sacrifice, then he decides later, during the ten days, to offer
a sacrifice, then he must refrain from cutting his hair and nails from the moment he
makes this decision.
➔ Some women may delegate their brothers or sons to make the sacrifice on their behalf,
then cut their hair during these ten days. This is not correct, because the ruling applies
to the one who is offering the sacrifice, whether or not he (or she) delegates someone
else to carry out the actual deed. The prohibition does not apply to the person
delegated, only to the person who is making the sacrifice, as is indicated in the
hadeeth. The person who is sacrificing on behalf of someone else, for whatever
reason, does not have to adhere to this prohibition.
➔ This prohibition appears to apply only to the one who is offering the sacrifice, not to his
wife and children, unless any of them is offering a sacrifice in his or her own right,
because the Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) used to sacrifice “on behalf of the
family of Muhammad,” but there are no reports that say he forbade them to cut their
hair or nails at that time.
➔ If a person was planning to offer a sacrifice, then he decides to go and perform Hajj, he
should not cut his hair or nails if he wants to enter ihraam, because the Sunnah is only
to cut hair and nails when necessary. But if he is performing Tamattu’ [whereby he
performs ‘Umrah, comes out of ihraam and enters ihraam anew for Hajj], he should
trim his hair at the end of his ‘Umrah because this is part of the ritual.

Eid – Etiquettes and Rulings
The Muslims are distinguished by their festivals
The Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) ’s words “Every nation has its festival, and this is
your festival” indicate that the two Eids (Eid alFitr and Eid alAdhaa) are exclusively for the
Muslims, and that it is not permissible for Muslims to imitate the kuffaar and mushrikeen in
anything that is a distinctive part of their celebrations, whether it be food, dress, bonfires or
acts of worship.
The Muslims have no festivals apart from Eid alFitr and Eid alAdhaa, because of the
hadeeth narrated from Anas (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) who said: “The Messenger of Allaah
(SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) came to Madeenah and the people had two days when they would
play and have fun. He (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) said, ‘What are these two days?’ They said,
‘We used to play and have fun on these days during the Jaahiliyyah. The Messenger of
Allaah (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) said, ‘Allaah has given you something better than them, the
day of Adhaa and the day of Fitr.’” [Sunan Abi Dawood, 1134]
These two Eids are among the signs or symbols of Allaah which we must celebrate and

understand the aims and meanings behind them.
Rulings on Eid
The Fasting: It is haraam to fast on the days of Eid. The Messenger of Allaah (SallallAllahu
'Alaihi wa Sallam) forbade fasting on the day of Fitr and the day of Sacrifice (Adhaa) [Muslim, 827].
Description of the Eid prayer:
‘Umar () said: “The prayer of Eid and alAdhaa is two complete rak’ahs, not shortened.
This is according to the words of your Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam), and the liar is
doomed.”
Abu Sa’eed (Radhiyallaahu Annhu ) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam)
used to come out to the prayerplace on the day of Fitr and alAdhaa, and the first thing he
would do was the prayer”.
It was reported from ‘Aa’ishah (Radhiyallaahu Annha ): “the Takbeer of alFitr and alAdhaa is
seven in the first rak’ah and five in the second, apart from the takbeer of rukoo’ [Abu
Dawood; saheeh]. The Qur’aan is to be recited after each.
If a person joining the prayer catches up with the imaam during these extra takbeeraat, he
should say “Allaahu akbar” with the imaam, and he does not have to make up any takbeeraat
he may have missed, because they are sunnah, not waajib.
With regard to what should be said between the takbeeraat, Hammaad ibn Salamah
(Radhiyallaahu Annhu) reported from Ibraaheem (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) that Waleed ibn ‘Uqbah
(Radhiyallaahu Annhu) entered the mosque when Ibn Mas’ood (Radhiyallaahu Annhu), Hudhayfah
(Radhiyallaahu Annhu) and Abu Moosa (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) were there, and said, “Eid is here,
what should I do?” Ibn Mas’ood (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) said: “Say ‘Allaahu akbar’, praise and
thank Allaah, send blessings on the Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) and make du’aa’,
then say Say ‘Allaahu akbar’, praise and thank Allaah, send blessings on the Prophet
(SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam)…etc.” [alTabaraani. It is a saheeh hadeeth that is quoted in alIrwaa’ and elsewhere].
Recitation of Qur’aan in Eid prayers:
‘Umar ibn alKhattaab (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) asked Abu Waaqid alLaythi (Radhiyallaahu Annhu),
“What did the Messenger of Allaah () used to recite at [Eid] alAdhaa and alFitr?” He
said, “He () used to recite Qaaf. Wa’lQur’aan almajeed [Qaaf 50:1] and Aqtarabat al
saa’ah wa anshaqq alqamar [alQamar 54:1]” [Muslim].
AlNu’maan ibn Bishr (Radhiyallaahu Annhu)) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi
wa Sallam) used to recite on the two Eids and on Fridays, Sabbih isma rabbika’la’laa [alA’laa
87:1] and Hal ataaka hadeeth alghaashiyah [alGhaashiyah 88:1].” [Muslim, 878].
Samurah (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) said: “The Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) used to recite on
the two Eids, Sabbih isma rabbika’la’laa [alA’ laa 87:1] and Hal ataaka hadeeth al
ghaashiyah [alGhaashiyah 88:1]” [Ahmad and others; it is saheeh. AlIrwaa’, 3/116]
The prayer comes before the khutbah: Ibn ‘Abbaas (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) , testified that the
Messenger of Allaah (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) prayed before the khutbah on Eid, then he
gave the khutbah” [Ahmad, 1905. The hadeeth is also in alSaheehayn].
Anyone who wants to leave during the khutbah is allowed to do so:
‘AbdAllaah ibn alSaa’ib (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) said: “I attended Eid with the Prophet (SallallAllahu
'Alaihi wa Sallam), and when he (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) finished the prayer, he (SallallAllahu
'Alaihi wa Sallam) said: “We will give the khutbah, so whoever wants to sit (and listen to) the
khutbah, let him sit, and whoever wants to leave, let him go.” [Irwaa’ alGhaleel, 3/96]
Not delaying the prayer for too long:
‘AbdAllaah ibn Bishr (Radhiyallaahu Annhu), the companion of the Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa
Sallam), went out with the people on the day of Fitr or alAdhaa, and objected to the fact that
the imaam came very late. He (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) said, “At the time of the Prophet (SallallAllahu
'Alaihi wa Sallam) we would have finished by now,” and that was at the time of alTasbeeh” [al
Bukhaari].
‘Naafil prayers in the prayerplace:
There are no naafil prayers to be done either before or after the Eid prayer, as Ibn ‘Abbaas
(Radhiyallaahu Annhu) reported that the Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) used to come out on
the day of Eid and pray two rak’ahs, with nothing before or after them.
Women’s attendance at Eid prayers:
Hafsah (Radhiyallaahu Annha) said: “We used to prevent prepubescent girls from attending Eid
prayers. Then a woman came and stayed at the fort of Banu Khalaf, and told us about her
sister. Her sister’s husband had taken part in twelve campaigns with the Prophet SallallAllahu
'Alaihi wa Sallam) and [she said], ‘my sister was with him on six of them. She said, “We used to
treat the wounded and take care of the sick. My sister asked the Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi
wa Sallam) whether there was anything wrong with her not going out [on Eid] if she did
not have a jilbaab. He SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) said, ‘Let her friend give her one of her
jilbaabs so that she may witness the blessings of Eid and see the Muslims gathering.’”’
When Um ‘Atiyah (Radhiyallaahu Annha) came, I asked her, ‘Did you hear the Prophet
(SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) [say this]?’ She said, ‘May my father be sacrificed for him’ – and
she never mentioned him without saying ‘may my father be sacrificed for him’ – ‘I heard him
saying that we should bring out the young girls and those who were secluded, or the
young girls who were secluded, and the menstruating women, so that they could
witness the blessings of Eid and see the gathering of the believers, but those who were
menstruating were to keep away from the prayerplace itself.” [alBukhaari, 324].
AbdAllaah ibn alSaa’ib (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) said: “I attended Eid with the Prophet (SallallAllahu
'Alaihi wa Sallam), and when he (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) finished the prayer, he (SallallAllahu
'Alaihi wa Sallam) said: “We will give the khutbah, so whoever wants to sit (and listen to) the
khutbah, let him sit, and whoever wants to leave, let him go.” [Irwaa’ alGhaleel, 3/96]
Aadaab alEid (Etiquette of Eid)
Ghusl (taking a bath):
One of the manners of Eid is to take a bathe before going out to the prayer. It is reported in a
saheeh report in alMuwatta’ and elsewhere that ‘AbdAllaah ibn ‘Umar (Radhiyallaahu Annhu)
used to take a bath on the day of alFitr before coming to the prayerplace [alMuwatta’ 428].
Eating before coming out:
Anas ibn Maalik (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) said: “The Messenger of Allaah () would not go out on
the morning of Eid alFitr until he had eaten some dates… and he would eat an odd number.”
[alBukhaari, 953]. If a person does not have any dates, he can eat anything permissible for
breakfast.
On Eid alAdhaa, on the other hand, it is mustahabb not to eat before the prayer, when one
should eat from the meat of one’s sacrifice.
Takbeer on the day of Eid:
This is one of the greatest sunnahs of this day, because of the words of Allaah (interpretation
of the meaning): “… (He [Allaah] wants that you) must complete the same number (of
days), and that you must magnify Allaah (say Takbeer – ‘Allaahu akbar’) for having
guided you so that you may be grateful to Him” [alBaqarah 2:185].
AbdAllaah ibn ‘Umar (Radhiyallaahu Annhuma) used to say it aloud on the day of Fitr until the
imaam came out.
Abu ‘Abd alRahmaan alSalami said: “On Eid alFitr they would say it louder than on Eid al
Adhaa.” Wakee’ said, “i.e., the takbeer.” [Irwaa’, 3/122].
The wording of the Takbeer:
Ibn Abi Shaybah reported in alMusannaf that Ibn Mas’ood (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) used to say
Takbeer on the days of Tashreeq as follows: “Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill
Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar wa Lillaahi’lhamd (Allaah is Most Great…
there is no god but Allaah, Allaah is Most Great, and to Allaah be praise).”
Ibn Abi Shaybah reported it elsewhere with the same isnaad, but with the phrase “Allaahu
akbar” repeated three times.
Congratulating one another:
Jubayr ibn Nufayr (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) said: “At the time of the Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa
Sallam), when people met one another on the day of Eid, they would say, ‘Taqabbal Allaahu
minnaa wa minka (May Allaah accept from us and from you).’” [Ibn Hajar. Its isnaad is hasan. Fath,
2/446]
Looking one’s best for Eid:
Jaabir (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) said: “The Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) had a jubbah that he
would wear on Eid and on Fridays” [Saheeh Ibn Khuzaymah, 1765].
AlBayhaqi reported that Ibn Umar used to wear his best clothes on Eid, so men should wear
the best clothes they have when they go out for Eid.
Women, on the other hand, should avoid adornment when they go out for Eid, because they
are prohibited from showing their adornment in front of nonmahrem men. A woman who
wants to go out is forbidden to wear perfume or to show off in a tempting way in front of men,
because she is only going out for the purpose of worship. Do you think that it is right for a
believing woman to disobey the One Whom she is going out to worship and go against His
commands by wearing attentiongrabbing tight and brightly coloured clothes or by putting on
perfume and so on?
To go out one by one route and come back by another:
Jaabir ibn ‘AbdAllaah (Radhiyallaahu Annhu) reported that the Prophet (SallallAllahu 'Alaihi wa
Sallam) used to vary his routes on the day of Eid. [alBukhaari, 986]
Warning against wrongdoing:
Some people think that Islam tells us to stay up and pray on the night of Eid, quoting an
unsound hadeeth which says that “whoever stays up and prays on the night of Eid, his heart
will not die on the day when hearts die.” This hadeeth was reported with two isnaads, one of
which is da’eef (weak), and the other is very da’eef. Islam does not tell us to single out the
night of Eid for staying up and praying; if, however, a person habitually stays up and prays at
night (qiyaam), there is nothing wrong with him doing so on the night of Eid as well.
Mixing of men and women in some prayerplaces, streets, etc. It is a pity that this happens
not only in mosques but even in the most sacred of places, alMasjid alHaraam [in Makkah].
Many women – may Allaah guide them – go out uncovered ,wearing makeup and perfume,
flaunting their adornment, when there is such serious overcrowding in the mosques – the
dangers of this situation are quite obvious. So those who are in charge must organize the Eid
prayers properly, by allocating separate doors and routes for women and delaying the men’s
departure until the women have left.
We ask Allaah to accept our worship and our repentance. May Allaah bless our Prophet
Muhammad.
And to conclude, we ask Allah, Mighty and Glorified be He, that He may benefit the Muslims in every vicinity throughout the corners
of the vast Islamic world with this work, and that He may have mercy upon the scholars who with great care and hardship, prepared
this work for all of us. For He is capable of doing all things, and in answering He is AllWorthy. And the last of our supplications is
that thankfulness be to Allah, the Rabb of the `Alamin (mankind, jinns, and whatsoever exists).
