Displays and Events on 'Id

Question :

What is the ruling regarding displays and special events that take place on 'Id?

Answer:

The two 'Id (Muslim holidays) are for remembering Allâh Almighty and worshipping Him, by making Takbir, by remembering Allâh Almighty, and by participating in the 'Id prayer. However, people may celebrate by enjoying themselves, just as the Ethiopians would play at the Prophet's Masjid. The 'Id festivities, however, should consist of those exercises that display the strength of Muslims, such as war drills. There should be no mixing between the sexes at these events and participants should not vie in boasting with one another, because doing so may lead to enmity.
