[2/ 64] When celebrating their Eids, muslims commit many misdemeanors some of these are even committed in every day life but are practiced on a large scale in festivals, such as: shaving the beard, shaking hands with women who are not Mahrams, women displaying their beauties, imitating the disbelievers in their way of dressing, (1) listening to music, visiting graves on the Eid Days distributing sweets and food there and setting on them, the intermingling of men and women, weeping the dead, sitting with non-Mahram women, spending money extravagantly and uselessly and many other misdemeanors.
