Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I am from Southeast Asia, and it is our custom there to celebrate 'Id al-Fitr throughout the month of Shawwal, not just on the first day. Is this considered among the permissible customs?
Answer:
No, it is not among the permissible customs. Only the day of the 'Id, only the day of the 'Id is fine. One may be generous with oneself by eating from permissible food, going on outings, and the like. Yes.
