They celebrate the `Eid through collecting a sum from each person


396

A: This money taken from individuals to establish a party for the Day of `Eid, gatherings, and so on, without their willingness, or consent is impermissible. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The property of a Muslim is unlawful (to take), unless (he gives it) willingly. In another Hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Surely your blood, your property, and your dignity are sacred among you like the sacredness of this day of yours in this month of yours in this land of yours [i.e. Do not kill one another! Do not take others' property without right! Do not destroy the dignity of one another!] (Part No. 7; Page No. 166)  This was the Khutbah (sermon) delivered by the Prophet (peace be upon him) on the Day of Nahr (Sacrifice, 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, when pilgrims slaughter their sacrificial animals) at the Farewell Hajj (Hajj performed by the Prophet before his death). Moreover, boycotting those who did not pay is unjust.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
