I have a question..what is the Arabic name for the gift of money that is usually given to women and children? Thanks!

we get money for 3id?

Yes, you're supposed to. My ex husband and his nephew (the only member of his family that lives in MI) always gave me money for el Eid....that is until the big "D".

edeah

Hicham told me that kids get money and gifts such as new clothes for Eid.

That is true..kids get small amounts of money from (it seems) everyone they run into on Eid. Traditionally everyone gets new clothes. The women usually get money from their husbands and/or other male relatives. At least that's how it goes for Yemenis.

Thank you! I couldn't remember the name for the life of me...now I can rest my mind..phew!
