Eid

Q: Is it permissible to keep the 'fast' on the day of Eidul Adha in the state of Haidh?

Q: Is it permissible to make dua after the eid salah before the khutbah, thus delaying the khutbah and not making dua at all in the second khutba? 

Did Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, the Sahaabah. or any of the four Imams or the fuqaha of their madhabs mention making the dua between the salah and khutbah?

Q: We have noticed a new trend where some people take out their phones and read the jumuah or eid khutbah from them, or refer to them when delivering a bayaan. Is it correct to deliver a bayaan or khutbah from a phone, or is this incorrect?

Q: I read the following concerning the timing for zabihah of the qurbaani animal. Can you tell me if this is correct?

If for some reason or other Eid Salaah was not performed on Eid day (i.e. 10th Zhul-Hijjah) then it will only be ja’iz to commence sacrificing AFTER ZAWAAL on that day, i.e. after expiry of the time of Eid Salaah, which is just before zawaal. However, during the next two days, qurbani could be done at any time.

If Eid Salaah was read the following day (11th) or the day thereafter (12th) qurbaani would be ja’iz even BEFORE the Eid on these two days.

Q: In recent years, we have seen a trend where Muslim homes put up decorations for Ramadaan and Eid on a wall or corner with banners of Ramadaan Mubarak or Eid Mubaarak, signs, paper flower decorations, light up signs, lanterns, door wreaths, etc.

Is this permissible or can it be surmounted to following the kuffaar way of Christmas decorations?

Q: Is gifting specifically at the time of eidul fitr part of deen?

Q: Would it be jaaiz for people to give presents on Eid. I have seen some people give wrapped up presents with cards, very similar to Christmas, on the night before Eid, to the children. They have a big gathering to give this. They say that they do this because children won’t know how to spend the money properly. Would this be jaaiz? What is the status of giving Money on Eid?

Q: Is it permissible for two men to perform the Eid Salaah together? Is there a minimum number of people for the Eid Salaah to be valid (similar to Jumuah Salaah where you need three muqtadis (minimum) and an imam)?

Q: Is it allowed for high ranking non-Muslim officials or MLAs or ministers to participate in the line of congregational prayer such as eid, etc.?
