Children prefer to receive “cash”
On Eid Al -Fitr, Al -Ayda is witnessing a remarkable development with the passage of time, as its presentation is no longer limited to the banknotes that are granted hand in hand, but technology entered the line to facilitate the process of distributing it, especially through “Banfta”, at a time when citizens confirmed that the distribution of Eid on children “cash” is better than converting it through the application.
In light of the digital transformation, many have preferred to convert the holiday electronically, especially for relatives and distant friends, which shortens the time and effort, and allows the Eid to be presented even to those who cannot be interviewed personally, but there is still a wide segment that believes that the traditional Eid holds a special touch of joy and intimacy, as its presentation is accompanied by the expressions of congratulations and real smiles.
Despite the spread of electronic conversion, some habits still maintain their beautiful character, such as wrapping banknotes with ornamental circumstances or offering them in small, decorated boxes, which gives Eid a festive touch that makes them more distinctive, especially for children who rejoice in opening colored envelopes and receiving Eid with their hands.
In an interview with a number of citizens about their opinion on this transformation, Muhammad Issa explained that the presentation of Eid in cash for him is a different impact on children and adults, indicating that the joy of the child, and he receives the Eid with his hand much more beautiful than the bank transfer, as children open the conditions and calculate the Eid.
He pointed out that it is preferable to use the bank transfer only if he wants to deliver the Eid to a distant person, and he will not meet him during the days of Eid, or if he is traveling, while the clinical is distributed in cash by hand to the children who meet them.
For her part, Umm Ahmed explained that she prefers to present Eid in the traditional way, especially with the spread of decorative envelopes and creative designs that make Eidia more distinctive.
She said: «In our childhood, I was very happy when I received Eid and according to the money, as we children were competing in those who have more clinic, and I want my children to live this experience instead of just a bank notification that reaches their phones.
In turn, Abdullah Hassan believes that the use of monetary transfer applications such as “Benfa B” provides the trouble of searching for appropriate cash groups, especially in the last moments before the Eid, as he provided the trouble of going to banks and standing in the waiting ranks to provide these groups.
He added that he is currently living in the United States of America to study higher degrees, explaining that the applications of transferring money helped him greatly to deliver the clinic to the children and love him, in the event that he is unable to spend the feast with his family because of the study.
