Eid Etiquette’s
Eid Prayer: The Eid prayer is a highly emphasized Sunnah, and some scholars even consider it obligatory (wajib). It involves two Rak'ahs (units of prayer) and is typically performed in congregation in open areas or mosques. The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to offer two Rak'ahs without any supererogatory prayers before or after them when performed in an open area (Ibn Abbas)
Prohibition of Fasting: It is forbidden to fast on the days of Eid. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade fasting on the Day of Fitr and the Day of Adha (Muslim)
Sacrifice (Qurbani): This ritual commemorates Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son. After the Eid prayer, an animal is sacrificed, and the meat is distributed among family, friends, and the needy. Allah says, "Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you" (Quran 22:37).
Takbir: The recitation of Takbir is a significant Sunnah on Eid. It starts from the night before Eid and continues until the Eid prayer. Ibn Umar used to recite Takbir aloud on the way to the prayer place (Daraqutni)
Eating After the Prayer: On Eid Al-Adha, it is recommended to delay eating until after the Eid prayer and to eat from the meat of the sacrifice. This contrasts with Eid Al-Fitr, where eating before the prayer is recommended
Wearing Best Clothes: It is recommended to wear one's best clothes on Eid. Jabir reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) had a cloak he would wear on Eid and Fridays (Bayhaqi)
Changing Routes: The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to change his route when returning from the Eid prayer. Jabir reported that the Prophet would take different routes on the day of Eid (Bukhari)
Congratulating One Another: It is customary to greet each other with phrases such as "Taqabbal Allahu minna wa mink*m" (May Allah accept from us and from you). Jubayr ibn Nufayr noted that during the Prophet's time, people would exchange this greeting on Eid (Ibn Hajar)
