Niat and Procedure for Sunnah Bath on Eid al-Adha

The Sunnah bath for Eid al-Adha is a recommended practice for Muslims to purify themselves and follow the tradition of Prophet Muhammad SAW. A hadith narrated by Ibn Majah mentions that Rasulullah SAW performed a bath on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The reading for the intention (niat) of the Eid al-Adha bath is: 'Nawaitul ghusla li'idil adha sunnatan lillahi ta'ala' which means 'I intend to bathe for celebrating Eid al-Adha as a Sunnah because Allah ta'ala'. The procedure includes reciting the niat, thoroughly cleansing oneself, performing ablution (wudu) as one would for prayer, and ensuring water reaches all parts of the body. The recommended time for performing this bath starts from midnight on the 10th of Dzulhijah, with the prime time being from dawn until before the Eid prayer. This recommendation applies not only to those attending the Eid prayer, but also to those who are unable due to illness, menstruation, postpartum bleeding, or other religiously recognized impediments. https://mozaik.inilah.com/dakwah/doa-mandi-hari-raya-idul-adha
