The Prophet ﷺ once said:
"The day of Arafat, the day of sacrifice, and the three following days of al-Tashriq are celebrations for the people of Islam. They are days of eating and drinking."
These five days — from the 9th to the 13th of Dhul Hijjah — are not just significant for those performing Hajj. They are a celebration for every single Muslim on earth. Islam is not a religion that forbids joy. These are days where the Prophet ﷺ explicitly encouraged us to eat, drink, and celebrate.
