An eidiyah () or eidi (; ), also called an Eid gift or a salami, is a traditional gift, usually in the form of money, given to children and families members by older relatives or family friends. It is commonly part of the celebration of the two Muslim holidays: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The practice, however, extends beyond Islamic contexts and is also associated with non-Islamic holidays such as Nowruz. This culture has spread throughout the Muslim community around the globe including the subcontinent and across Europe and America, and spreads joy and generosity, which aligns with Islamic values. It is neither obligatory (fard/wajib) nor a Sunnah act.
