Just curious, did the Quran condone this practice of giving green packets during Hari Raya? How did this practice started and where did this practice come from? I really hope does not come from the pigs eating Chinese of giving red packets during CNY.

Kindly enlighten an infidel like me please.

Isn’t duit raya an extension of zakat?
 
This is a chinese tradition malays copied. Other muslim counyries do not have such gift.
