Have you noticed Eid celebrations spanning three days?

In my family, we've always kept our Eid-ul-Fitr festivities to just one day, but lately, I've been seeing posts online where people celebrate for three whole days, marking each one as 'Eid day 2' or 'Eid day 3.' As-salamu alaykum, I’m curious-is this practice rooted in the sunnah, or is it more of a cultural tradition? Maybe it varies by region, since it appears more common in certain countries? Specifically talking about Eid-ul-Fitr here. JazakAllah Khair for any insights!

Same! I noticed this online too. We only do one day in my home. Maybe it's a regional thing? Interesting to see how traditions differ.

My family in Bangladesh also does three days! It's totally cultural here-lots of visiting and feasting. Just extra joy spreading the celebration. I think it's fine as long as the actual Eid day rituals are followed properly.

Yup, three days here in Indonesia! It's more about family gatherings and culture after the first day. Sunnah is one day, the rest is just us extending the happiness.

Cultural tradition for sure. We do it in Pakistan-Eid day 1 for prayers and immediate family, then days 2-3 for visiting everyone else.
