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."

[Sharh Kitāb as-Sawm min Jāmi' at-Tirmidhi lish-Shaykh Sulaymān al-'Alwān, chapter 8, p.35]

--------
"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."

Question:

What is the ruling on 'Eid congratulations?

Answer:

The correct view is that it is allowed because this is authentically narrated from the Sahābah and since the congratulation is for 'Eid, then it is only correct to offer it AFTER the 'Eid prayer.

-Dār at-Tawhīd

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.
