How Women Should Go Out On The Day Of 'Eid The Prophet ﷺ said: ((لِيَخْرُجْنَ وَهُنَّ تَفِلاَت)) “But they may go out (to the masjid) having not perfumed themselves.” [Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood no. 565] Shaikh Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad hafidhuhallah explained: “There is not with them a good scent. Verily, they come out in their usual scent which does not have perfume. Verily they come out of their houses without beautifying and perfuming. The intent of (التفلة) is without perfume. So she comes out with the scent, that which upon her (and) without using perfume”* [Sharh Sunan Abi Dawood no.78] A woman should wear a jilbab on the day of Eid. Proof: Narrated Umm 'Atiyyah: أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَ، الْحُيَّضَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدَيْنِ وَذَوَاتِ الْخُدُورِ، فَيَشْهَدْنَ جَمَاعَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَدَعْوَتَهُمْ، وَيَعْتَزِلُ الْحُيَّضُ عَنْ مُصَلاَّهُنَّ‏.‏ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِحْدَانَا لَيْسَ لَهَا جِلْبَابٌ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏“‏لِتُلْبِسْهَا صَاحِبَتُهَا مِنْ جِلْبَابِهَا”‌‏ "We were ordered to bring out our menstruating women and veiled women in the religious gatherings and invocation of Muslims on the two Id festivals. These menstruating women were to keep away from their Musalla. A woman asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ‘What about one who does not have a veil?” He said, “Let her share the veil of her companion.” [Al-Bukhari no. 351] Hafidh Ibn Hajr rahimahullah explains: “The intent is her sister who is a friend. It is possible to mean that she shares her thawb with her. What supports this is the version of the Hadith in Abu Dawood: ‘Let her wear some of her clothing’. That is if it is spacious. It is possible that the intent of his statement, ‘her clothing’ is a type of clothing, so it returns to the first. It is taken from this Hadith the permissibility of two women being under or in one clothing when covering. It was said this was mentioned by way of exaggeration”. [Fath ul-Baari] Similarly, Mulla Ali Qaari rahimahullah said: “In this Hadith is the recommendation of preparing a Jilbaab for a woman, the permissibility of borrowing clothing, and preventing a woman from going out without a Jilbaab” [Mirqaatul Mafatih (5/32)] So a woman should wear a Jilbab on the day of Eid and if she does not have one, she should either borrow one from her friend or even wear the same Jilbab as that of her friend! This instruction and guidance of the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam is lost nowadays. In fact, we see the Muslim women, young and old, doing the opposite by wearing all types of revealing clothing on the day of Eid, perfumed, and adorned. The Jilbab for many sisters has been replaced with a summer dress which does not meet the requirements of the Hijab. Let alone those who wear pants and other such clothing. Allahu Mustaan. We ask Allah to guide our sisters back to the Sunnah and to the example of our pious predecessors. May Allah give them the courage to leave off all this fashion in favor of the clothing of taqwa.
