'Eed al-Fitr
Playing, recreation, and eating on the day of 'Eed:
These are permissible as log as they stay within the acceptable bounds of Islam. Anas said: When the Prophet, sallaallahu alayhi wa sallam, came to Al-Madeenah, they had two days for amusement. The Prophet, sallaallahu alayhi wa sallam, has exchanged these days for two better days: the day of breaking the fast and the day of sacrifice. [An-Nasaa'i and Ibn Hibbaan]
Taking women and children to the prayer area:
The Prophet sallaallahu alayhi wa sallam, used to take his wives and daughters to the two 'Eeds. Umm Atiyah, may Allaah be pleasd with her, said: "We were ordered to go out with the single and menstruating women to the two 'Eeds in order to witness the good and the supplications of the Muslims. The menstruating women though would stay away from the prayer area." [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Going to the prayer area:
The Prophet, sallaallahu alayhi wa sallam, used to go to the prayer area on foot. Jaaber narrated: "On the days of 'Eed, the Prophet, sallaallahu alayhi wa sallam, would go to the prayer area by one route and come back by another route." [Al-Bukhaari]
Eating before going to the prayer area:
Since 'Eed al-Fitr is the day on which Muslims break their Ramadhaan fast, it is preferable to eat before going to the 'Eed prayer. It is a Sunnah of the Prophet, sallaallahu alayhi wa sallam, to eat an odd number of dates before going to pray Salaat al-'Eed. Anas reported: "The Prophet, sallaallahu alayhi wa sallam, would not go out on the day of 'Eed al-Fitr without eating an odd number of dates." [Al-Bukhaari]
Preparation for 'Eed prayer:
It is preferred to make Ghusl (take a bath), wear one's best clothes and, for men, to put perfume before going to Salaat al-'Eed. Ibn Al-Qayyim said: "The Prophet, sallaallahu alayhi wa sallam, used to wear his best clothes for the 'Eed prayers and he had clothes that he reserved for the two 'Eeds and Jumu'ah."
Making Takbeer:
Takbeer starts from the night of 'Eed's eve until the Imaam comes out to start the prayer. Allaah Says (which means): "Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah (i.e., say Takbeer) for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful." [Quran; 2: 185] The form of takbeer is related by 'Umar and Ibn Mas'ood: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La illaha illallaah. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar wa lillaahil-hamd."
Congratulating each other:
It has been narrated that when the Prophet's companions met each other on the 'Eed day, they would say to each other: "May Allah accept from us and from you." [Ahmad]
Allah hafiz.
