Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We are accustomed at the school to hold a celebration among the school staff on the first school day after the blessed festival of 'Id al-Fitr, where we exchange greetings and perhaps gifts. What is the ruling on this practice?
Answer:
If this is during the days of the festival, then the celebration, supplication, and salam are required during the days of the festival. As for if it is delayed beyond the days of the festival, this is not called a celebration. There is no harm if you hold a meeting and exchange salam and greetings upon meeting; there is no harm. But it is not called a celebration. The celebration is what takes place during the days of the festival. Yes.
