Summary
The hadith on the virtue of reviving the two Eid nights is graded weak by the scholars cited, and this ruling leans towards that assessment. Even so, reviving the Eid night with prayer, remembrance, Quran recitation and other acts of obedience is regarded as sunnah. Weak hadith on virtuous deeds may be acted upon if they meet the conditions set by scholars, and performing tahajjud prayer is sufficient to revive the night.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum menghidupkan malam raya dengan amal ibadah dengan solat, berzikir, membaca al-Quran dan sebagainya yang berbentuk ketaatan atau amal soleh adalah satu sunnah.
