On the day of eid, did the Prophet Salalahu Alayhi Wasalam wear new clothes, or the best of his old clothes?

Is it essential to buy new clothes if one CAN afford it? Why do people make it a fashion to buy new clothes on eid?

Answer:

It is not essential to buy new clothes.

It is Sunnah to wear one’s best clothes, provided they conform to the Shari?ah.
