8 Adab Guests During Eid Al-Fitr According To Islamic Teachings

YOGYAKARTA - Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Fitr is a moment for friendship with loved ones and known people. Usually people will visit relatives, friends, and relatives' homes. In Islam, there is an adatory teaching to visit during Eid al-Fitr that a Muslim needs to understand.

Even though the people we are going to provide an open house, we as guests still have to maintain adab or ethics during a visit. By implementing a good custom, we not only respect the host, but also maintain good relations with her.

That is why it is very important for every Muslim to understand the custom of visiting during Eid al-Fitr. This holiday is taught in the Qur'an and by the Prophet SAW.

As Muslims who practice good behavior, we must know the good procedures for traveling. Here are some adab when visiting people's homes taught in Islamic law:

Based on an e-book entitled Adab Bertamu by Hafidz Muftisany, one of the ethics of visiting during Eid is having the first intention. Therefore, before visiting, we should establish a positive intention.

This intention can affect our atmosphere and attitude when interacting. That way, the host is expected to feel comfortable and not burdened when receiving our arrival as guests.

Paying attention to the visit time is one of the ethics of visiting. The recommended time to visit someone's house is before isya time.

This aims not to interfere with the rest time of the owner of the house. In addition, it is also better to avoid visiting after zuhur or lunch, as well as before dawn.

Another order that needs to be applied when visiting the Eid moment is by dressed politely, neatly, and cleanly. In addition, as guests, we must also be polite to the host.

One of the etiquettes of visiting before entering the house is to say hello and ask for permission. While in front of someone's house who wants to be visited, usually we will call the name of the person we want to meet.

"God bless you" has written to you in QS. An-Nur verse 27:

Let's say it's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea.

Art: O believers, do not enter a house that is not your home, before asking permission and greeting the occupants. This is better for you, so that you (always) remember.

The Prophet SAW also taught that when he wanted to visit, we were advised to say hello and ask for permission before entering. The limit for asking for a visit is three times.

As from Abu Musa Al-Asy'aru radhiallahu'anhu, he said: Rasulullah SAW said "Ask permission to enter the house three times, if allowed for you (enter), and if not, then God willing!" (HR. Bukhari and Muslim).

A guest should try not to bother the host, as if he doesn't expect an excessive banquet. But if the host has provided a meal and is inviting him to eat, it should be well received.

A guest should ask the host for permission before enjoying the dish served. In addition, when eating food, you should focus on your own food and not pay attention to the faces of other people who are eating.

In the Adab Islam 1 textbooks, Suhendri and Ahmad Syukri mentioned that one of the glory of Islamic teachings in the custom is a recommendation to give gifts to others.

This action aims to foster a sense of love and affection, as well as prevent feelings of jealousy, ridicule, or incitement that can damage the relationship of brotherhood.

The Prophet SAW said: "Don't give each other a gift, then surely you will love each other." (HR. Bukhari).

One of the other visiting ethics is praying for the host or the person who has served us a meal. The prayer can be offered after tasting the food provided. This is a form of expression of gratitude for the kindness and hospitality of the host in hosting us.

The following is a prayer that was also taught by the Prophet SAW:

You can't help it, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't.

Meaning: O Allah, give food to people who have given me food, and give drinks to those who have bought me drinks. (HR Muslim).

Those are some of the adab who visit during Eid al-Fitr that Muslims need to understand. By carrying out the ethics above, we as guests can respect and maintain good relations with the host. Also read about the open house tradition during Eid.
