Congratulation
is one of the rules of Eid, exchanged between the
Muslims ,especially relatives and friends,in any manner such as

This congratulation is a sign of high moral standards and the
virtues of social manifestations among the Muslims.

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?
