Question

What is the ruling in regards to embracing and greeting fellow Muslim brothers immediately after the Eid Salaah?

Answer

The act of greeting and embracing fellow Muslim brothers immediately after the Eid Salaah is an innovation which is considered as Makrooh. Such a practice is not proven from Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Yes, if one meets a brother on the day of Eid, and greets him or embraces him, then there is no harm in doing so. The prohibition applies to immediately after the Eid Salaah. [Re:- Ahsanul Fataawa Pg.354 Vol.1]
