Take a shower before discharging salat Eid is one of the sunnah practices that are recommended on Eid. Here’s a prayer bath prayer Eid Al-Fitr and how to do it.
According to Imam al-Ghazali, in a treatise entitled al-Adab fid Din in Majmu’ah Rasail al-imam al-Ghazali, bathing before Eid prayers is not bathing as usual.
The process of bathing for Eid prayer is carried out in the morning after dawn to purify oneself from minor and major hadas.
The time for this ablution begins at midnight
Meaning: The time for entering the sunnah bath (Eid al-Fitr / Eid al-Adha) is at midnight.
In addition, this bath is part of the good manners that the Apostle and his companions always did.
“From Nafi’, (he said that) ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar used to take a bath on Eid al-Fitr before he left early in the morning for the field. (Narrated by Imam al-Bukhari).
