Summary
This Selangor State Mufti Department guideline lists recommended Eid practices, including takbir, a ritual bath, wearing fine or new clothes, walking to the prayer place and taking a different route going and returning. Eating before the prayer is recommended on Eid al-Fitr but not encouraged on Eid al-Adha. Fasting on both Eid days is forbidden. Men recite takbir aloud, while women recite it only loudly enough for themselves to hear.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sunat bagi lelaki menyaringkan suara, manakala bagi wanita sekadar didengari oleh dirinya sendiri.
