The Eid (ritual bath) is a by consensus. The one who performs it is rewarded, and the one who neglects it is not punished. It is an act of worship by which one draws closer to Allah. For one to be deserving of its reward, it must be accompanied by the intention of drawing closer to Allah (niyyat al-qurbah), based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Deeds are only by intentions."
