The Law of Giving Eid Money in IslamReported by NU Online, giving Eid money in any name including THR, can be categorized as a form of charity that is continued. This means that the law of giving money at Eid is permissible and even recommended. This action is considered to reflect the concern between fellow Muslims and fellow human beings, especially at the moment of victory at Eid.
In the culture of the Muslim community, the practice of giving gifts is very well appreciated. In fact, Islam teaches people to repay others' kindness to them. This behavior is also exemplified by the Prophet SAW as a hadith from Aisyah ra as follows.
From 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) accepted the gift and praised it. Dari 'Aishah (ra), ia berkata: "Rasulullah (saw) menerima hadiah dan memuji hadiah itu."
This means:
"From 'Aisyah ra, she said: 'The Messenger of Allah Saw. gave a gift and returned it (with the same or better).'" (HR Al-Bukhārī).
