(1)Pay your Zakatul Fitr before Eid Salah.

ZAKAT-UL-FITR given on the day of Eid (best time is before going out for prayer)to poor Muslims so they have enough food during Eid.

“Allah’s Messenger has made obligatory zakat al-Fitr in the amount of sa’a of dates or one sa’a of barley, for the Muslims – slave or free, male or female, young or old, and he ordered it to be given before the people went out to the Eid prayer. We would give it out before Eid by a day or two.] Bukhari, Muslim

(2)Take Ghusl:

Ibn ‘Umar used to take a bath on the day of Fitr before proceeding to the musalla. (Malik, Abd al-Razzaq, etc)

(3)Beautify Yourself:

The Prophet used to wear his best clothes to go  the Eid prayer. He had a cloak that he wore specifically on the two Eid’s and Friday. Ibn ‘Umar also used to wear his best clothes on he two Eid’s.

The Prophet would give the Khutba after the prayer.

“We shall give the khutba – so let whoever wishes to sit for khutba do so, and whoever wishes to leave, leave.”
