❓ FAQ About Eidiya in Saudi Arabia
Eidiya is a monetary gift given during Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. It is a deeply rooted tradition in Saudi and Gulf culture, expressing joy, generosity, and family bonds. It is typically given from elders to younger ones, from parents to children, and between relatives as part of Eid celebrations.
Eidiya amounts vary based on relationship, age, and financial ability. Typically, children receive 50-200 SAR, teenagers 100-500 SAR, young adults 200-1000 SAR, and parents 500-2000 SAR. The key is to give within your financial means.
Saudi banknote denominations are: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 SAR. Many people prefer using new, crisp banknotes for Eidiya, which is why demand for new notes increases at banks before Eid.
There is no religious obligation to give Eidiya; it is a social custom, not a religious duty. You can set an appropriate budget and distribute it according to your priorities. The most important recipients are children and parents, followed by siblings and nieces/nephews. Do not overspend beyond your financial capacity.
Start by listing the people you want to give Eidiya to, then set an appropriate amount for each based on your relationship and their age. Use the Eidiya calculator to find the total and prepare the required banknote denominations. It is recommended to plan at least a week before Eid to withdraw new banknotes from the bank.
