Question

Is this Hadith authentic?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: “He who disobeys Allah on the day of Eid is like a person who disobeys Allah on the day of Qiyamah.”

 

Answer

I have not been able to locate these words in any primary Hadith source.

It has been cited by some Jurists (Fuqaha) without mention of its chain.

من عصى الله في يوم العيد فكأنما عصى الله في يوم الوعيد/القيامة

 

However, it should be borne in mind that the disobedience of Allah is forbidden at all times. On the day of Eid it would be even more detestable, as that is not the way a Muslim shows gratitude to Allah’s favour!

 

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
