Question
Is visiting relatives on Eid Days Sunnah? Are there any specific acts for the Day of Eid? What about gifts?
Answer
Visiting relatives on Eid Days is not Sunnat nor exchanging gifts. On Eid days, besides ghusl, the Takbeer if it is Eidul Adha, Qur'baani and the Salaat for men there is nothing special to do. Remain at home, engage in ibaadat, and do not go about visiting relatives and friends. Especially in this era of fitnah, home is your sanctuary. It is your safest place.
