My mother isn't letting me stay home from school for Eid....

[Mustafa16]

My mother says I have to go to school on the first day of Eid, because, according to her, "you can celebrate in the evening, because I'm going to be home early, since I'm starting my new job."

[crimsontide06]

Then obey her..

She is not asking you to do something dangerous or haram...

[Serinity]

:salam:

I am not staying home either. But one can still celebrate Eid, right?

And Allah :swt: knows best.

[sister herb]

I am going to work at the Eid. But yes, I can celebrate after that. So, do as your mommy says and have a blessed Eid to you and your family.

Complaining never solves anything; it always only makes things worse. Always have a happy and positive attitude and mindset.

So you're not able to have holiday on Eid; neither is a whole lot of people. It's just one of those things. You can have whatever celebration you want in the night, though. So instead of looking at the negatives, focus on the positives.

Assalamu alaykum,

Whether you are at school, work, or unwell or preoccupied, nothing takes away the utter joy and happiness one feels on Eid. It is such a blessed day Allah swt has gifted us with alhamdulillah, that Eid feeling is just *there*, no matter what, and nothing can take the joy of Eid away from you, whatever you may be doing or however you are feeling.

[mashaallah04]

Same I'm not staying home but we can still all have a happy wonderful eid

Its quite sad and unfortunate if one can't even read the Eid prayer. The prophet :arabic5: even commanded the women to come out for the Eid prayer.

I understand that people have difficult circumstances, may Allah make it easy for them, but we need to respect our Eid.

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

The `Eid Salaah has to be made, of course. A person has to attend the `Eid Salaah and Khutbah. School is not a valid reason for not going for the `Eid Salaah. We're referring to a person not taking holiday on `Eid; however, the `Eid Salaah and Khutbah you Have to go for, regardless of whether you have school on that day or not. The Deen is more important. Just go to school later on that day. If the teachers complain, so what. Who gives a monkey's...

People stay out of school for Baatil reasons. Why can't they even just come late for the sake of Allaah Ta`aalaa. They can go to school after having attended the `Eid Salaah and Khutbah.

my mother didn't even let me go to the prayer or khutbah....

[Aicha07]

I went to work and then came home and celebrated when I got off.

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

In that case, it was necessary for you to go even if she stops you. Your parents cannot stop you from doing what is Fardh, nor can they force you to do what is Haraam. There is no obedience to them in that.

Did she put forward a reason for doing that?

Yes, a Muslim must obey their parents, but not when obedience to them means disobedience to Allah swt. They can't, and shouldn't, prevent you from doing what it fardh.

You're 17, couldn't you have just gone for like 15-20 minutes for the prayer and then come back?

I also find it quite unfortunate when in some communities the women aren't encouraged to attend the Eid prayer.

Like in my community, they're not exactly discouraged, but the women still rarely go. I think the last time I went was 10 years ago when I was eight.

she didn't give a reason.....and I don't have a driver's license, and I can't walk to the masjid because it's too far and I get tired from walking easily anyway.

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

How far is the Masjid from your house?

Perhaps you could have asked a friend to drop you off there?

I don't have any friends, and my mom's friends are often busy....and my mother wanted me in school anyway....
