On the day of eid, did the Prophet Salalahu Alayhi Wasalam wear new clothes, or the best of his old clothes?
Question
Is it essential to buy new clothes if one CAN afford it? Why do people make it a fashion to buy new clothes on eid?
Answer
It is not essential to buy new clothes.
It is Sunnah to wear one?s best clothes, provided they conform to the Shari?ah.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
