—namely, the women of the Children of Israel—and because temptations and the avenues of evil in these later times are many, unlike in the first generation. Allah knows best. End quote.

I add: in our own age they are even more numerous.

Imam Ibn al-Jawzi said in Ahkam al-Nisāʾ, p. 38: “We have already clarified that women’s going out is permissible; however, if there is a fear of temptation caused by them or befalling them, then remaining indoors is preferable, for the women of the earliest community were not like the women brought up in this era—and the same holds true for the men.” End quote.

That is to say, they were marked by great scrupulous piety.

From these citations, dear Muslim sister, you may know that your attending the Eid prayer is permissible in the Law, provided you observe commitment, modesty, and the intention of drawing nearer to Allah, share in the supplications of the Muslims, and manifest one of the symbols of Islam. It is not meant for displaying adornment or courting temptation, so be alert to that.
