Can Eid prayer be offered in a different Eidgah to avoid unlawful talk?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I am from Afghanistan, which there is no Islamic Law, and there is a big Eidgah, when the people go there they talk unlawful, so is it lawful to offer Salatul Eid in any other Eidgah other than this big Eidgah?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1456/1311/B=12/1434)

The ruling of Eidgah is just like mosque in respect of waqf, but in other rulings it is not like mosque. An unclean man or women experiencing menstruation or post parturition bleeding (Nifas) may not enter into mosque as well as it is makrooh to smoke in mosque, but the women experiencing menstruation or post parturition bleeding may enter into Eidgah. It is sin to talk unlawful in Eidgah, but you should offer salah in Eidgah itself.

Allah knows Best!
