Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for women to celebrate 'Id al-Fitr after three days, given that in lands of disbelief they cannot gather except during the weekly holiday?
Answer:
There is no celebration in 'Id al-Fitr. 'Id al-Fitr is the 'Id prayer, eating the 'Id food, and breaking the fast—displaying the breaking of the fast. This is 'Id al-Fitr. As for celebrations and these things, they are not part of the 'Id. They attached them to the 'Id, but they are not part of it. Yes.
