It is recommended to take a bath on the morning of `Eed. Naafi` reported that:
"`Abdullaah Bin `Umar () used to take ghusl (bath) on the day of Fitr before proceeding to the musallaa (prayer place)." 1
Sa`eed Bin al-Musayyib (r) said:
"There are three sunnahs2 for Fitr: walking to the musallaa, eating before you go, and performing ghusl."3
Imaam Ibn Qudaamah said:
"It is recommended to perform ghusl for `Eed. Ibn `Umar would perform ghusl on the day of Fitr; and `Alee is reported to have done so as well4. This is also the opinion of `Alqamah, `Urwah, `Ataa', an-Nakh`ee, ash-Shi`bee, Qataadah, Abu az-Zinad, Maalik, ash-Shaafi`ee, and Ibn ul-Munthir."5
The reports regarding Allaah's Messenger
performing ghusl for the
`Eed or commanding people to perform it are all weak.6

- A man asked `Alee () about ghusl; so he said, "You can perform ghusl every day if you wish." He said, "I do not mean that; I mean the days on which one should make ghusl." He () said:
"The day of Jumu_ah, the day of _Arafah, the day of Nahr (Sacrifice), and the day of Fitr." Recorded by al-Bayhaqee with an authentic chain of narrators. See Irwaa` ul-Ghaleel.

- Recorded in Sunan Ibn Maajah, No. 1315, "Allaah's Messenger performed ghusl on the day of Fitr and the day of Adha." Its chain contains Jubaarah Bin al-Mughallis and his shaykh, both of which are weak. There is also another weak report with additional wording in No. 1316, whose chain contains Yoosuf Bin Khdaalid as-Samtee, who has been known to lie. See Irwaa' ul-Ghaleel. - Back to text
