Question

Why did Amina not buy any new clothes and sweets for Eid?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is common practice for Muslims to buy new clothes for Eid, as it is a sunnah, or tradition, of the Prophet Mohammed to wear something new during the holy feast. However, many people grow out of the habit and simply wear anything chic from their wardrobe instead of buying something new.

Eid al-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of the 10th month in the Islamic calendar. The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and dates are calculated based on lunar phases. Due to this, the Islamic calendar year is shorter than the solar Gregorian calendar year by 10 to 12 days.
