3.    Slaughtering the sacrifice on the day of al Adha on one’s behalf and on behalf of his family. It is recommended that it is done soon after the Eid prayer but it could be done on the two or three days after the day of al Adha .

4.    It is recommended to say Takbeer after daily Jamaa’s prayers starting from Fajr prayer of the day of Arafah (the 9th) to ‘Aser prayer on the last day of Al Tashreeq (the 13th).

5.    Congratulation is one of the rules of Eid, exchanged between the Muslims ,especially relatives and friends,in any manner such as telling each other: “May Allah, accept from us and from you”.  This congratulation is a sign of high moral standards and the virtues of social manifestations among the Muslims.

6.     Adorning oneself by wearing the best clothes one has as Bukhari reported on the authority of Abdullah Ibn Omar, who said: “ Omar bought a silk cloak from the market, took it to the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi wa salam, and said: “O Allah’s Apostle! take it and adorn yourself with it during the Eids and when the delegations visit you.  Allah’s Apostle answered: “This dress is for those who have no share in the Here-after”.  

 This then proves that adorning oneself in Eid was a familiar practice in the time of the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi wa salam, but he blamed Omar for buying that dress because it was made of silk which men are not allowed to wear.  

Jabir, may Allah, Subhana wa Ta’ala, be pleased with him, said that the Prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa salam, used to wear a Jubbah on Fridays and on the days of Eid”.  The men are therefore supposed to wear their best clothes on Eid day.  

-As for women, they should avoid adorning themselves when they go out of their homes because they are forbidden to reveal their adornment in front of men who are foreign to them.  

Similarly, if is forbidden for women to put on perfume on the day of Eid (as well as other occasions) when they go out because it is for the purpose of obedience that they are allowed to go out of their homes; will it then be accepted of a believing women to disobey Allah Subhana wa Ta’ala, by wearing tight fitting, multi-coloured attractive clothes or spraying herself with perfume?
