Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: It is one of our customs in our country, outside this land, for a group of people to stand at the Eid prayer ground, greeting those who enter the prayer ground and congratulating them on the Eid. Is this prescribed?
Answer:
No, it is not prescribed. What is prescribed is for them to enter the prayer ground and sit, remembering Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and not to go around the door greeting those who enter.
