Question Detail:

Respected Mufti saheb 
What is the shar’i ruling regarding hugging after the eid salah.
Jazakallah 

Answer :

The day of Eid is a day of joy and happiness.
The Sahabah used to congratulate each other on the day of Eid by saying,
تقبل الله منا ومنكم 
May Allah accept from us and you 
Musafahah (shaking hands) and Mu’anaqah (embracing) on the day of Eid is generally done as an expression of ones joy and happiness.
One should not regard shaking hands or embracing as compulsory in Deen for the day of Eid.[i]
