Summary
This Bayan Linnas explains the virtues of the Day of Arafah and the festival days, citing the verse on the perfection of the religion, revealed on the Day of Arafah which fell on a Friday. Festivals are described as times of joy and gratitude to Allah, and Allah replaced the two earlier festival days of Medina with Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Believers have three festivals in this world: Friday each week, and Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha once a year. Friday is described as better in the sight of Allah than both annual festivals.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hari raya yang berlaku seminggu sekali ini adalah setelah selesainya kita menyempurnakan solat yang merupakan salah satu rukun Islam yang agung selepas kita mengucap dua kalimah syahadah.
