Advice for one who is struck by a calamity on the day of Eid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Another questioner sent this question, saying: If a Muslim is struck by a calamity on the day of Eid, for example the death of a father or a brother, which takes precedence, the side of condolence or accepting the Eid? And what is the advice for one who is struck by a calamity?
Answer:
Yes, the calamity does not conflict with the Eid. Rather, he rejoices with the people and displays patience and seeking reward, and he does not grieve with a grief that affects him, or worse, that leads him to wailing, or that he holds a party for condolence. All of this is not permissible. This is a religious innovation. He should be patient and seek reward, and rejoice with the people for the Eid. Praise be to Allah, this is how it proceeds with the servants. Yes.
