===Green envelope=== {{Main|Green envelope}} [[Malays (ethnic group)|Malay]] Muslims in [[Malaysia]], [[Brunei]], [[Indonesia]], and [[Singapore]] adopted the Chinese custom as part of their [[Eid al-Fitr]] ({{Langx|ms|[[Hari Raya Aidilfitri]]}}) celebrations, but instead of red packets other colored envelopes are used, most commonly green. Customarily a family gives (usually small) amounts of money in green envelopes, and may send them to friends and family unable to visit. [[Green#In religion|Green]] is used for its traditional association with [[Islam]]. The adaptation of the red envelope is based on the Muslim custom of ''[[sadaqah]]'', or voluntary charity. While present in the [[Qur'an]], ''sadaqah'' is less formally established than the sometimes similar practice of ''[[zakat]]'', and in many cultures this takes a form closer to gift-giving and generosity among friends than charity. I.e. no attempt is made to give more to guests "in need", nor is it a religious obligation. Among the [[Sundanese people]], a boy who had been recently circumcised is given monetary gifts known as ''panyecep'' or ''uang sunatan''.
