English Commentary:
1:
The Muslims of the Indian subcontinent, for some unknown reason, have established the definitive custom of eating vermicelli (sweet noodles) before going to the Eidgah, and also eating and serving them upon returning. This custom is adhered to such an extent that "Eid al-Fitr" and vermicelli have become inseparable, just as "meat" is with Eid al-Adha. Observing this custom to such an extent falls under the category of innovation (bid‘ah).

Benefits and Issues:
➊ It is Sunnah not to eat before the prayer on the day of Eid al-Adha.
➋ The common people refer to this abstention as fasting; this is incorrect. Fasting on the day of Eid is not permissible, nor can the abstention from eating before the Eid prayer be called fasting.
