◽️8. Permissible leisure activities
There is nothing wrong with taking the family for a trip on land or on the water, or visiting scenic places, or going to a place where there are permissible leisure activities. There is also nothing wrong with listening to some nasheeds that are free of musical accompaniment.
It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) came in and there were with me two young girls who were singing the songs of Bu‘aath. He lay down on the bed and turned his face away. Then Abu Bakr came in and rebuked me, saying: Singing of the Shaytaan in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)? The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) turned to him and said: “Let them be.” When he turned away I signalled to them and they left. And on the day of Eid, the black men were playing with shields and spears. Either I asked the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) (to let me watch) or he said, “Do you want to watch?” and I said: Yes. So he made me stand behind him, with my cheek against his, and he was saying, “Carry on, O Banu Arfidah!” until I had had enough, then he said, “Have you had enough?” and I said yes, so he said, “Go then.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (907) and Muslim (892)
According to another report, ‘Aa’ishah said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “So that the Jews may understand that in our religion there is some leniency, I have been sent with monotheism that is of an easy nature.”
Musnad Ahmad (50/366); classed as hasan by the commentators; its isnad classed as jayyid by al-Albaani in as-Silsilah as-Saheehah (4/443).
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) included it in a chapter ennoscriptd: The concession allowing play in which there is no sin during the days of Eid.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
In this hadith we learn that it is prescribed to be generous to one’s family and children during the days of Eid, with different kinds of things that will bring them pleasure and joy, and allow the body to relax after the effort of worship.
We also learn that expressing joy on Eid is one of the symbols of Islam.
Fath al-Baari (2/514)
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Something else that is done on this Eid is the exchange of gifts, in other words they make food and invite one another, and they get together and celebrate. There is nothing wrong with this custom, because these are the days of Eid. Even Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), when he entered the house of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him – and he narrated the same hadith.
This indicates that one of the ways in which Islam makes things easy for people – praise be to Allah – is that it prescribes for them to express joy and happiness on the days of Eid.
Majmoo‘ Fataawa ash-Shaykh al-‘Uthaymeen (16/276).
In al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (14/166) it says:
This confirms the idea that it is prescribed to be generous to one’s family and children during the days of Eid, with different kinds of things that will bring them pleasure and joy, and allow the body to relax after the effort of worship. Expressing joy on the days of Eid is one of the symbols of this religion, and playing on the days of the two Eids is permissible, both in the mosque and elsewhere, if it is done along the lines mentioned in the hadith of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) about the Abyssinians playing with weapons. End quote.
In the answer to question no. 36856 we have mentioned some of the wrong things that are done on Eid. Please read it.
We ask Allah, may He be exalted, to accept from us and from our righteous deeds, and to guide us and you to that which is best for us in both religious and worldly terms.
And Allah knows best.

Eid al-Fitr is only one day, not three
Shaykh Sulaymān al-Alwān (may Allāh hasten his release) said:
"Al-Fitr has only one 'Eid day, contrary to what the laymen say today. They make three days out of the day of 'Eid al-Fitr. This is wrong and has no basis whatsoever. 'Eid al-Fitr is one day only and it is the day that comes after Ramadān. The days that come after that are no 'Eid."
قال الشيخ سليمان العلوان:
"والفطر ليس له من العيد إلا يوم واحد خلاف للعامة الآن يجعلون ثلاثة أيام عيداً لعيد الفطر، وهذا غلط وليس له أصل، عيد الفطر ليس له إلا يوم واحد فقط وهو اليوم الذي يلي رمضان، وأما ما يليه فليس من العيد في شيء."

"The Eids of the Muslims have not been prescribed only for the purpose of joy, fun and visiting one another; rather they are among the symbols and acts of worship of the religion, so the Sunnah on these occasions is for the Muslims to celebrate them openly and proclaim them.
So the Muslim should combine both matters: he should practice the rituals and acts of worship of Islam openly, such as the Eid prayer, and he should express some measure of joy and happiness. And at the same time he should feel sorrow for what has befallen his brethren, and he should feel their pain.
Undoubtedly the more the Muslim feels the pain and anguish of his Muslim brothers, the less he will indulge in permissible kinds of entertainment and play, even if he allows himself expressions of joy on Eid and gratitude for the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon him."

How to make up the ‘Eid prayer
When Anas ibn Mâlik was in his home in at-Taff, and he missed the ‘Eid prayer in the town, he would gather his children and servants and he would let one of his servants; ‘Abdullâh ibn Abî Utbah lead the Salâh and he would pray it the same way people prayed it in the town.
[Narrated by at-Tahâwî and ‘Abdul ‘Azîz at-Tarîfî said it is Sahîh, and it is the most authentic narration on the topic]

🔹 Fasting of Shawwal
The best is to hurry up and fast the six days of Shawwal right from the start. Ibn Al-Mubarak chose that.
Allah- Exalted is he- said:
"So strive as in a race in good deeds."

🔹 Fasting of Shawwal
That one that has to make up days from Ramadan should start with the six days of Shawwal after he made up the missed days he has to fast.
The Hadith says:
"Whoever fasts Ramadan, then follows it with six from Shawwal."
And he, who has to make up days up to the present has not fasted the whole month of Ramadan and should start to make up those days before fasting the six days of Shawwal.
