About Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of Ramadan. The day begins with the Eid prayer, and Zakat al-Fitr should be paid before the prayer so that people in need can celebrate too. Fasting on the day of Eid is not permitted (Sahih al-Bukhari 1990, Sahih Muslim 1137).
