Fatwa: a ruling on a point of Islamic law given by a recognized authority.
Q: Is it allowed for a woman to go out to the Eid Prayer?
A: Yes, it is sanctioned for them to go out to the two Eid Prayers and this is stressed for women. It is recorded in the Sahihain (Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim) from Umm Atiyyah who said "We were ordered to go out on the Day of Eid, even including the young virgin in her house and the menstruating woman. They would make the Takbir with the others and supplicate with them and hope for the blessings of that day." Another narration states that the Messenger of Allah PBUH used to tell the virgins, young women secluded in their houses and menstruating women to go to the eid
Prayer. But the menstruating women would remain away from the place of prayer and would join in the good deeds and supplications of the Muslims. Umm Atiyyah stated that a woman asked the Prophet PBUH "But one of us may not have a Jilbab!"* The Prophet PBUH told her: "Her sister may clothe her from her Jilbab."
The woman, though, must go out without perfume and without displaying her beauty. Furthermore, she must remain away from mixing with the men. ( Shaikh bin Jibreen)
* The Jilbab is the outer garment or cloak that covers the woman from the top of her head to her feet. This is what the Muslim woman is commanded to wear in Surat Al-Ahzab. The Hadith above is further evidence that they would not leave their houses unless they were so attired.
