*   Shaking hands and embracing one another after the Eid Salah as is customary amongst Muslims. This is better to do as it is an expression of happiness. However, embracing a young attractive boy may lead to mischief. (However, one may follow medical guidelines during the current pandemic).

*   Uttering Takbeer in a low voice when going for the Salah of Eid-ul-Fitr, and to utter it loudly when going for the Salah of Eid-ul-Adha. The Takbeer is as follows:

اَللہُ  اَکْبَرُ ؕ اَللہُ  اَکْبَرُ ؕ لَآ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ وَاللہُ اَکْبَرُ ؕ اَللہُ  اَکْبَر وَلِلّٰہِ الْحَمْدُ ؕ

Translation: Allah Almighty is the greatest. Allah Almighty is the greatest. There is none worthy of worship besides Allah Almighty and Allah Almighty is the greatest. Allah Almighty is the greatest and all praise belongs to Allah Almighty.

(Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 779 – 781, Fatawa-e-Hindiyyah, vol. 1, pp. 149-150)

*   The rulings of Eid-ul-Adha are the same as Eid-ul-Fitr. There are some differences in only a few matters. For example, it is Mustahab not to eat anything before the Salah of Eid-ul-Adha, regardless of whether one is performing the ritual sacrifice or not. However, there is no harm if one ate something either. (Fatawa-e-Hindiyyah, vol. 1, pp. 152)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
