The Phenomenon of Wearing New Clothes during Eid, Learn about its Islamic Rulings!

Dream - Approaching Eid al-Fitr, shopping activities in the market or shopping centers are becoming more crowded. People are busy preparing all the necessities to celebrate this joyous moment. One common habit that is done by the Muslim community in Indonesia is buying new clothes for Eid. In fact, some families have a tradition of wearing matching outfits to celebrate this special day.

Wearing new clothes when celebrating this joyful day has become a common practice. Then the question arises, should we wear new clothes to celebrate Eid al-Fitr? Let's take a closer look at the following review!

The Phenomenon of Wearing New Clothes during Eid, Learn the Islamic Perspective on it!

There are several possibilities why someone buys new clothes to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. This can be done because the clothes at home no longer fit to wear. The second possibility is because the old clothes have faded or are no longer suitable to wear, so the moment of Eid al-Fitr becomes an opportunity to buy new clothes. Quoting from the NU Online page, in the Kitab Busyral Karim, Sheikh Sa'id bin Muhammad Ba'asyin explains the recommendation to wear the best clothes on the day of the holiday. Not only that, people who want to go out during Eid al-Fitr are also encouraged to decorate and wear fragrances.

"A person is advised to wear fragrance and adorn themselves as previously mentioned in the Friday chapter. But here, a person is advised to wear their best clothes even if they are not white. When white clothes and non-white clothes are equally good, then wearing white clothes is preferable on Id day. Id day is different from Friday."

The meaning of Id day is to show the blessings of Allah. Therefore, wearing the best clothes is more preferable. Meanwhile, the purpose of Friday is to show perfection, so wearing white clothes is the best. However, those who stay at home (not going out to pray Id) and those who go out to pray Id are also encouraged to take a bath, adorn themselves, and wear perfume.

"Best Clothes Doesn't Necessarily Mean New"

Based on the explanation above, it is clear that Muslims are advised to wear their best clothes to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. However, our society misunderstands it as wearing new clothes. We should not let this celebration of victory, which essence is to forgive each other, become something that makes us excessive.

               

Wear Clean Clothes and Do Not Need to Be Extravagant.

Many of us buy more than one new shirt to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. This is not a good action because it is considered wasteful and excessive. If we still have decent and good clothes at home, it would be better not to buy new clothes for Eid. However, if we really need to buy new clothes, especially matching outfits with the family, it is allowed as long as we consider the necessity and avoid excess.

Muslims should take advantage of the moment of Eid al-Fitr as an opportunity to improve their inner selves as much as possible, forgive those who have done wrong, and ask for forgiveness from those whom we have hurt. Additionally, they should also increase their istighfar, seeking forgiveness from Allah SWT.
