Hari Raya Idul Fitri is one of the great moments that all Muslims awaited in the world. After undergoing a 30-day fasting obligation in the holy month of Ramadan, Eid is marked as a 'winning day'. Some traditions are also done related to the celebration of the day which is also known as a moment of mutual forgiveness.

Traditions such as gathering or visiting relatives to the typical foods during Idul Fitri are done differently in each country that celebrates. Other traditions include "Eidiyah". Namely the tradition of giving gifts, generally in the form of cash, to children of parents and also relatives.

In Indonesia itself the term Eidiyah commonly called with THR (Allowance Hari Raya). However, the meaning of THR itself is actually a bonus wage to the people of Indonesia who work and given the time before the holiday.

Launched from Qatar Living, Eidiyah's history began during the era of Fatimah (wife of Prophet Muhammad SAW) who distributed gifts to the children and the poor in his area. This tradition continues where rich people begin to share gifts to poor children and adults who are able to finish reading the Qur'an.

Not only in the form of cash, some people also provide candy, toys or other items. The giving of Eidiyah is also not restricted to Muslim children. All children encountered or visited at the time of Eid al-Fitr can also receive Eidiyah.

In Southeast Asia, Eidiyah is known as the 'holiday money'. The Muslim community is also encouraged to give alms, forgive and forget the problems that may have occurred during the year. In addition, there is a charity obligation called 'Zakat Al Fitr', which belongs to the Pillars of Islam.

In tradition in Qatar, children visit neighbors in their neighborhood and say greetings, 'Eidkum Mubarak Ya Ahel Al Bait'. The greeting is a greeting of Eid al-Fitr in Qatar when visiting his neighbor. After the greeting, the children responded by opening the door and giving Eidiyah.

As the times progressed, the tradition of giving Eid al-Eid during the Eid began varying. From planning vacations, picnics even to the shopping center.
