  • What is the ruling on saying "we will celebrate Eid" upon completing the fasting of six days of Shawwal, and is asking "when will you celebrate Eid?" considered a derogation of the religion?

  • Is breaking the fast with an odd number of dates a Sunnah from the Prophet (peace be upon him), and is eating an odd number of dates a Sunnah in Ramadan or otherwise?

  • What is the ruling on one who only visits his relatives for three days during Eid al-Fitr and on some rare occasions?
