    Three Sunan of Eid Al-Fitr

    Imam Sa'eed ibn Al-Musayyib (rahimahullaah) said:

    The Sunnah of Al-Fitr consists of three things: Walking to the prayer place (musalla), eating before leaving [for the prayer] and taking a full bath.

    Al-Firyaabee, Ahkaam Al-'Eidayn. Shaykh Al-Albaanee graded its chain of transmission "saheeh" in Irwaa` Al-Ghaleel 3:104.

    If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah (subhanahu wa taa'ala), and if I erred, then that is from me and shaytan.

    Sunan Of 'Eid

    It is true to say that although much information has reached us about Fasting and Ramadaan - authentic or otherwise - we know very little about the etiquettes of 'Eid: what we are recommended to do in this day and what is obligatory for us to do. Below is a brief list of some of the prescribed practices of 'Eid.

    SUNAN AL-'EID

    1. It is established from the Companion Ibn 'Umar (radiallaahu 'anhumma) that he used to bathe on the morning of 'Eid. The tabi'ee Sa'eed ibn al Musayyib (rahimahullaah) said: The sunnah of the fitr is three: walking to the Prayer-ground, eating before going out and taking a bath. [Saheeh - Al Firyaabee & al-Irwaa (2/104)]

    2. It is known that the companion Ibn 'Umar would also dressed in his best clothes for the two 'Eids as reported by Ibn Hajr (rahimahullaah) in his Fathul-Baaree (2/439).

    3. It is compulsory on all adult sane Muslims to pray the 'Eid prayer. The Prophet - sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam - and his Companions never ceased doing it and he - sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam - commanded everyone including women, children and the elderly to attend. Even menstruating women should go to the place of congregation so that they may partake in the blessings .[Bukharee and Muslim]

    4. It is Sunnah to eat dates before we leave for Al-'Eid prayer to show openly that we are not fasting on this day. The Prophet - sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam - used not to leave for Al-Eid [al-Fitr] prayer except after eating some dates. [Reported by Anas bin Maalik (radiallaahu 'anhu), collected in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (Eng. trans. vol.2 p.40 no.73) and Ahmad.]

    5. It is Sunnah to say takbeer loudly when leaving our homes to go
    to 'Eid prayer and repeat these till the prayer starts. [Silsilatal-Ahaadeeth-Saheehah (no 171).]

    6. It is preferable to pray the 'Eid prayer on open ground and not
    at the masjid if possible. [Bukharee and Muslim]

    7. Neither Adhaan nor Iqaamah are said for 'Eid prayer. [Reported by
    Ibn 'Abbaas and Jaabir ibn 'Abdullah (radiallaahu 'anhum) and collected in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (Eng. trans. vol.2 p.40)]

    8. It is Sunnah to say the extra takbeers i.e. say 'Allaahu Akbar' seven times in the first rak'ah and five times in the second. [Aboo Daawood, Ahmad & others.] It is preferable to only raise the hands to the shoulders after the first takbeer and then fold them upon the chest. However, it is authentically reported from Ibn 'Umar (radhiAllaahu 'anhumma) that he would raise his hands with every takbeer.

    9. It is Sunnah to take different routes to and from the prayer ground, preferably walking if possible. Jaabir reported that the Prophet - sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam - used to come back from the 'Eid prayer on a path other than the one used in going to it. [Bukharee]

    WHAT TO SAY ON THE DAY OF 'EID
    The Prophet - sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam - would say takbeer loudly when travelling to go to the 'Eid prayer. Ahadeeth have not reached us telling us exactly what he used to say, but Ibn Abee Shayhah narrated that Ibn Mas'ood (radhiAllaahu 'anhu) used to say the following:

    Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar, Laa ilaahaa ilallaah
    Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar, wa lillaahil-Hamd (Allaah is The Greatest, Allaah is The Greatest, there is none worthy of worship except He. Allaah is The Greatest, Allaah is The Greatest, and to Him belongs all Praise.)
