1) children by the other elders of the family;

2) wives by their husbands;

3) sisters/sisters in law by their brothers; or

4) mothers/mothers in law by their sons (who earn).

5) friends by their friends

Usually Eidi takes the form of money.

EIDI is a gift given to someone on the blessed day of Eid-al-fitr which follows after the month of Ramadan for Muslims around the world.

It usually takes the form of money, and is given by adults to the children of the family when they congregate during the day in celebration and togetherness.

Because money is so revered in western society, it usually means it's revered and valued, yet in simplification one need not give money but rather a thought-out gift to your loved ones, always given with the peace and blessings of the Almighty one Gods name. This purifies the action and gifts good energy into the life of those you love.
