On the eve of the upcoming holiday of Kurban Bayram (Eid-ul-Adha), we invite readers to familiarize themselves with the material that reveals the features of the holiday prayer (Salat-ul-Eid or Eid-namaz), which is an important component of this day.
According to the madhhab of Imam Abu Hanifa
"Eid is a holiday named in honor of the fact that the mercy of Allah Almighty descends on His servants and that they return every year with joy.
Both "id-namaz were established in Sharia in the first year of the Hijra. From Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) they say that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) moved to Medina, the inhabitants of this city celebrated two days. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ) asked about it, he was told that during the time of jahiliy they had fun these days.The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that the Almighty gave them two days better than the previous ones - this is Idul-fitr (the holiday of breaking the fast) and Idul-adha (the holiday sacrifices).
Everyone who is obliged to perform Jum'ah prayer should perform "id-namaz. Eid prayer has the same conditions as Friday prayer, i.e. two rak'ahs and a khutba. For "id-namaz, the hutba is read (sunnat) after prayer. And on Friday, it is necessary (fard) to read the khutba before prayer.
The time for both Eid prayers comes when on that day the sun rises above the horizon by the size of a bayonet. This is the start time for Zuha prayer. By the time it will be 30 minutes after sunrise. The term expires before the lunch prayer, i.e. to the zenith.
The procedure for performing "Eid-namaz"
Prayer begins with the words "assalatu jamia", which literally means "come to the collective prayer." Everyone stands in rows and makes an intention (imam and ma "mums) for the holiday prayer. Ma" mums, with the intention, echo the imam. After pronouncing the words “Allahu Akbar”, the mums praying behind the imam fold their hands on their stomachs. They read the dua “Sana” (“Subhanaka Allahuma tabaraka ismuka wa ta” ala jadduka vala ilyaha gairuk "). Then the imam begins to read the takbirs. They are also called added. These are three takbirs, not counting the takbir when entering into prayer, with each of them they raise their hands, as if to enter into prayer, then lower them, but do not fold them. Each takbir is pronounced separately from each other three times, with an interval for the time for which you can say "Allahu Akbar" or read "subhanallahi walhamdulillahi wa la ilyaha illallahu wallahu akbar". After pronouncing the third added takbir, the hands are folded on the stomach. The imam reads surah al-Fatiha and preferably surah A'la aloud, then they make a hand and judge and stand for the second rak'ah. The Imam reads the surah al-Fatiha, then preferably the surah al-Hashiya. After reading, they proceed to takbirs, they are pronounced, as for the previous rak'ah, three times and the fourth takbir for ruku "a. They make a hand" judge, read "Attahiyyata" and, as usual, exit the prayer with salam. After salam, they remain seated, the imam reads both khutbas. After that, he reads a sermon (about the sacrifice or the feast of breaking the fast, respectively).
Tashriq is the drying of meat. Therefore, the 11th, 12th, 13th days of the month of Zul-Hijja, i.e., those following Eid al-Adha, are called the days of Tashrik (ayama Tashrik). These days, after performing all farz prayers, it is necessary for men and women to read takbir. It is read until the afternoon prayer of the 13th day.
The order of reading the takbir is as follows: “Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, La ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar. Allahu Akbar Walillahil Hamd". It is necessary to read it once after each prayer, and it is sunnah to read it three times.
Desirable activities on both days
On these days, everything that is desirable on Friday is desirable: to swim, use the sivak, perfume yourself with incense, put on your best clothes, go to prayer early. But for the holiday there are also additional sunnats: before going to the festive prayer of breaking the fast, it is advisable to eat something, preferably an odd number of dates. And before the prayer of Eid al-Adha, it is advisable to postpone the meal in order to eat from sacrificial meat.
On the way to the mosque (for prayer) they read takbir (on the day of breaking the fast - to themselves, on Eid al-Adha - aloud). It is advisable to go one way, return - another. Distribute zakatul-fitr before departure for prayer. It is advisable to make ziyarats at the cemetery after the prayer, to distribute alms as much as possible.
Both festive nights are spent in vigils, time is spent in worship of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), reading the Koran, performing prayers, remembering Allah.
It is advisable to perform both of these prayers in the field, it is condemned without good reason to perform them in mosques.
Some decisions related to both holidays
If you could not perform a collective holiday prayer (behind the imam), you do not need to compensate for it yourself. If the time for "id-namaz" has passed (that is, the time for lunch prayer has come) and you did not have time for prayer, then it can be performed the next day. Namaz Eid-namaz can be performed in the next three days, if there was a reason, for which he was transferred.
The one who enters the prayer after the imam, having read the takbirs, starts reading the surah al-Fatiha, reads the takbirs, following the imam, if he does not miss the hand "for him. If he does not have time for the hand" behind the imam, he , having entered the prayer, he will go to the hand, "he will read the takbirs there. If he enters the prayer after the imam rises from the hand," he will restore the missed after the completion of the prayer by the imam.
It is disgraceful to perform sunnat prayers before or after Eid-namaz. They can be performed upon arrival home. Khutba begins with reading takbir: the first - 9 times, the second - 7 times. On the days of tashriq, takbir can be continued by adding: “…Allahu akbar kabiran walhamdulillahi kasiran wa subhanallahi bukratan wa asila la ilaha illallahu wahdahu sadaka wa” dahu wa nassara “abdahu wa a” aza jundahu wa gazamal ahzaba wahdahu la ilaha illa llahu wa la na "I will illa iyyahu mukhlisin lahuddin wa lav karihal kafirun. Allahumma sally "ala sayyidina Muhammadin wa" ala ali Muhammadin wa "ala askhabi Muhammadin wa" ala azwaji Muhammadin wa sallim taslima".
Zainula Gamzatov
According to the madhhab of Imam ash-Shafi'i
The holiday prayer has two rak'ahs, and the intention to perform it is done as follows: I intend to perform the desired Eid prayer of two rak'ahs in the name of Allah (following the imam)».
After saying “Allahu Akbar” entering the prayer, it is advisable to read the prayer “Wajjahtu”, then it is advisable to raise your hands seven times as when entering prayer and say “Allahu Akbar”, and after six read the prayer . And after the seventh "Allahu Akbar" you should read the sura "al-Fatiha". (If the collective prayer is first read aloud by the imam, and then the mothers read it). After the surah al-Fatiha, it is advisable to read the surah al-Kahf or the surah al-A'la.
In the second rak'ah, after saying "Allahu Akbar", it is advisable to pronounce the second rak'ah in the above way "Allahu Akbar" and read a prayer "Subhana llahi walhamdu lillahi wa la ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar" after four, and after the fifth, read the surah al-Fatiha. After the surah al-Fatiha, it is advisable to read the surah al-Qamar, or al-Gashiya.
If the prayer was collective, after it two khutbas should be read with the same conditions that should be observed with the khutbs of the Friday prayer.
If a person cannot perform prayer in the above way, he makes an intention for the Eid prayer and does the usual desirable prayer in two rak'ahs.
And since the Eid prayer happens once a year, a Muslim should not neglect it, and if he missed it for a good reason, it is advisable for him to make up for it.
Ahmad Abdurashidov
Audio version of this article:
The theologians of the Hanafi madhhab were more inclined to believe that the holiday prayer, held twice a year, is regarded as a "wajib" for adult, reasonable men in terms of priority. For women, children, travelers and the physically infirm, this prayer is not obligatory. And the Shafi'i theologians regarded it as "Sunna-muakkyada". In practical terms, it is, in general, one and the same.
According to the scientists of the Hanafi madhhab, this prayer is performed only collectively. Alone, this group of scholars believed, the holiday prayer is not performed, since it does not belong to the obligatory fard prayers. However, the theologians of the Shafi’i madhhab allowed the completion (qada’) of the holiday prayer for those who were late for it. This can be done at any time, but it is better - on the same day. They believed, unlike the Hanafi theologians, that this prayer could be performed by one person.
Order of execution
The time for its completion comes 20-40 minutes after sunrise and ends with the approach of the sun to the zenith (20-40 minutes before the time of the daytime Zuhr prayer).
Azan and iqamah are not read in the holiday prayer. To call believers to prayer, the words “as-salatu jami'a” can be uttered:
الصَّلاَةُ جَامِعَةٌ
Two rak'ahs of holiday prayer
Briefly
First rak'ah
1) intention;
2) du‘a “as-Sana”;
3) three takbirs with raising hands and freely lowering them along the body;
4) reading suras "al-Fatiha" and "al-A'la";
Second rak'ah
1) reading the sura "al-Fatiha" and any short sura;
2) three takbirs with a show of hands, and with the fourth takbir, the worshipers lower themselves to the waist bow. The subsequent actions are the same as in the usual two-rak'ah prayer.
Then the imam conducts a festive sermon (khutba), consisting of two parts. Following the sermon, the traditional final reading of the Holy Quran is possible, after which the parishioners can congratulate each other on the holiday being celebrated.
in detail
First rak'ah
1) Niyat (intention): "I intend to perform two rak'yats of the holiday prayer, doing this sincerely for the Almighty."
Then the men, raising their hands to the level of the ears so that the thumbs touch the lobes, and the women to the level of the shoulders, following the imam pronounce takbir: "Allahu akbar" ("God above all"). At the same time, it is advisable for men to separate their fingers, and for women to close them. After that, the men put their hands on the stomach just below the navel, putting the right hand on the left, clasping the left wrist with the little finger and thumb of the right hand. Women lower their hands to their chests, placing the right hand on the left wrist.
The gaze of each person praying should be directed to the place where he will lower his face during the prostration (as-sajda).
2) Immediately after that, everyone reads to himself du‘a “as-Sana”("Praise to the Almighty"):
Transliteration:
“Subhaanakyal-laahumma va bihamdik, va tabaarakyasmuk, va ta’alaya jadduk, valyaya ilyahe gairuk.”
سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ بِحَمْدِكَ وَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَ تـَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَ لاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ
The given du‘a is more often used by representatives of the Hanafi madhhab. Shafiites use the following prayer:
Transliteration:
“Wadjahtu vajhiya lil-lyazii fatoras-samaavaati val-ard, haniifam-muslima, wa maa ana minal-mushrikiin, inna salayatii va nusukii va mahhyaya va mamamatii lil-lyayahi rabbil-'aalamimin, laya shariikya lyakh, wa bi zaalika die va ana minal muslimeen".
وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا مُسْلِمًا وَ مَا أَنَا مِنَ الْـمُشْرِكِينَ .
إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَ نُسُكِي وَ مَحْيَاىَ وَ مَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ .
وَ بِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَ أَنَا مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ .3) Three takbirs with a show of hands.
After reading "as-San", the imam, and after him all the worshipers, pronounce three takbirs(“Allahu Akbar”) with the raising of the hands at each takbir, doing this in the same way as at the beginning of the prayer-prayer.
After each takbir, the arms freely fall along the torso. Between takbirs, the imam makes slight pauses.
At the end of the third takbir, the hands return to their original position.
The Imam and all the worshipers continue the prayer with the words “a‘uuzu bil-layahi minash-shaytooni rrajiim, bismil-lyahi rrahmaani rrahiim” (to himself).
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
Translation:
“I am moving away from the accursed Satan, approaching the Almighty, and I begin in the name of the Merciful Allah, whose mercy is boundless and eternal.”
4) Reading the suras of the Qur'an.
Then the imam reads the sura "al-Fatiha" aloud:
Transliteration:
“Al-hamdu lil-lyahi rabbil-‘alamimin.
Ar-rahmaani rrahim.
Yaumid-diin yawyaliki.
Iyayakya na'du wa iyayakya nasta'iin.
Ikhdina ssyraatol-mustakyym.
Syraatol-lyaziyna an'amta ‘alaihim, gairil-magduubi ‘alaihim wa lad-doolliin. Aamiin.
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ .
اَلرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ .
مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ .
إِيَّاكَ نَعْـبُدُ وَ إِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ .
اِهْدِناَ الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ .
صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيـْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لاَ الضَّآلِّينَ . آمِين .After the sura "al-Fatiha" (both among the Hanafis and the Shafiites) in the first rak'ah is desirable (only desirable) reading Surah al-A'la(it is also read aloud by the imam).

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّى
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَى
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَى
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَى
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَى
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَى
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَى
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَى
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَى
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَى
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَى
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّى

إِنَّ هَذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَى
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىThen the imam, together with the believers standing behind him, with the words "Allahu Akbar" in the usual manner makes a bow and earth bow.
Second rak'ah
1) Reading suras.
In the second rak'yaat, "as-Sana" and "a'uzu bil-lyakhi minash-shaytoni rrajim" are not read.
The Imam says to himself “bismil-lyahi rrahmani rrahim”, reads the surah al-Fatiha aloud, and then a short surah, for example, “al-Ihlyas”:
Transliteration:
“Kul huva llaahu ahad. Allahu ssomad. Lam yalid wa lam yulad. Wa lam yakul-lyahu kufuvan ahad.”
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ . اَللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ . لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يوُلَدْ . وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ .
2) Three takbirs with a show of hands.
After that, before going to the waist bow, the imam, and after him all the worshipers, say three takbirs (“Allahu Akbar”) with a raise of the hands at each takbir, similar to the first rak'yah. After each takbir, the arms freely fall along the torso. Between takbirs, the imam makes slight pauses.
At the end of the third takbir, the imam pronounces the fourth takbir and goes down with the worshipers on a bow. Then everything is done in the same way as when performing the first rak'ah.
When the imam, and after him the worshipers rise from the second prostration of the second rak'yaat, they sit on their left foot and read tashahhud.
Hanafi (putting hands loosely on hips without closing fingers):
Transliteration:
“At-tahiyayatu lil-lyahi was-solawaatu wat-toyibaatu,
As-salayama ‘alaykya ayyuhan-nabiyu wa rahmatul-laahi wa barakyatukh,
Ashkhadu allaya ilyayahe illa llaahu wa ashkhadu anna muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuuulukh.”
اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَ الصَّلَوَاتُ وَ الطَّيِّباَتُ
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيـُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْناَ وَ عَلىَ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُDuring the pronunciation of the words “la ilyakhe”, the index finger of the right hand should be raised up, and when the words “illa llaahu” - lowered.
Shafiites (positioning the left hand freely, without separating the fingers, but clenching the right hand into a fist and releasing the thumb and forefinger, while the thumb in a bent position adjoins the brush) say:
Transliteration:
"At-tahiyatul-mubaarakyatus-solavaatu ttoyibattu lil-lyah,
As-salayama ‘alaykya ayyuhan-nabiyu wa rahmatul-laahi wa barakayatuh,
As-salayama ‘alayanaa wa ‘alaya ‘ibaadil-lyayahi ssoolihiin,
Ashkhadu allaya ilyayahe illa llaahu wa ashkhadu anna muhammadan rasuulul-laah.”
اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ الْمُبَارَكَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّـيِّـبَاتُ لِلَّهِ ،
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيـُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتـُهُ ،
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْـنَا وَ عَلىَ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ ،
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ .During the pronunciation of the words “illa llaahu”, the index finger of the right hand is raised up without additional movements (while the gaze of the prayer is drawn to this finger) and lowered.
After reading the tashahhud, the worshipers, without changing their position, say salavat:
Transliteration:
“Allahumma solli ‘alaya sayidinaa muhammadin wa ‘alaya eeli sayidinaa muhammad,
Kama Sollyaita ‘alaya sayidinaa ibraahima wa ‘alaya eeli sayidinaa ibraahim,
Wa baariq ‘alaya sayyidina muhammadin wa ‘alaya eeli sayyidina muhammad,
Kamaa baarakte ‘alaya sayidinaa ibraahiima wa ‘alaya eeli sayidinaa ibraahiima fil-‘alamimin, innekya hamidun majiid.
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلىَ سَيِّدِناَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلىَ آلِ سَيِّدِناَ مُحَمَّدٍ
كَماَ صَلَّيْتَ عَلىَ سَيِّدِناَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ عَلىَ آلِ سَيِّدِناَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
وَ باَرِكْ عَلىَ سَيِّدِناَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلىَ آلِ سَيِّدِناَ مُحَمَّدٍ
كَماَ باَرَكْتَ عَلىَ سَيِّدِناَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ عَلىَ آلِ سَيِّدِناَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْعاَلَمِينَ
إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌAfter reading the salavat, it is advisable to turn to the Lord with a prayer (du‘a). The theologians of the Hanafi madhhab argue that in this case, only the form of prayer that is mentioned in the Holy Quran or in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) can be used as a du‘a. Another part of Islamic theologians allows the use of any form of du'a. At the same time, the opinion of scholars is unanimous that the text of the du'a used in prayer should only be in Arabic.
After that, the imam, and after him the rest of those praying with the words of greeting "as-salayama 'alaykum va rahmatul-laah" ("peace and blessings of the Almighty") turn their heads first to the right side, looking at their shoulder, and then, repeating the words greetings, - to the left. This concludes the two rak'yats of the holiday prayer.
أَسْـتَـغـْفِرُ اللَّه أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّه أَسْـتَـغـْفِرُ اللَّهَ
2. Raising their hands to chest level, the worshipers say (to themselves): “Allaahumma ente salayam wa minkya salayam, tabaarakte yaa zal-jalyali wal-ikraam. Allahumma a‘inni ‘ala zikrikya wa shukrikya wa husni ‘ibaadatik.
اَللَّهُمَّ أَنـْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَ مِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ
تَـبَارَكْتَ ياَ ذَا الْجَـلاَلِ وَ الإِكْرَامِ
اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنيِّ عَلىَ ذِكْرِكَ وَ شُكْرِكَ وَ حُسْنِ عِباَدَتـِكَThen they lower their hands, running their palms over their faces.
It should be noted that during the performance of two rak'yaats of the holiday prayer, those praying, standing behind the imam, say everything to themselves, that is, inaudibly, in a whisper.
3) Holiday sermons.
First sermon
The most common is the following form of festive takbir: “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Laya Ilyakhe Illal-Lah, Wal-Lahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Wal Lil-Lakhil-Khamd.”
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ . لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ . اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ
Translation:
“Allah is above all, Allah is above all; there is no god but Him. Allah is above all, Allah is above all, and only to Him is true praise.
The sermon begins with words of praise to the Almighty and a request for a blessing for the Prophet Muhammad. In the sermon of the holiday of Eid al-Fitr, the imam focuses the attention of believers on the importance of obligatory alms at the end of the fast - zakatul-fitr, and also briefly on what is relevant for believers, citing verses of the Holy Quran and hadiths.
During a sermon on Eid al-Adha, it is advisable for the preacher to talk about what is important when making a sacrifice, as well as about additional takbirs that will be pronounced by believers in the next few days.
At the end of the first sermon, the imam-khatib sits on the minbar (if he wishes), and the worshipers can pray to the Almighty Creator, reading the dua prayer.
Second sermon
The Imam recites seven takbirs one after the other. The second sermon is shorter than the first and is edifying.
This concludes the festive ceremony. The Holy Quran is usually read, then the imam pronounces a common prayer-du‘a, at the end of which everyone stands up, greeting and congratulating each other.
Festive prayer is performed in mosques twice a year (according to the lunar calendar) - on the holiday of Eid al-Adha and on the holiday of Eid al-Adha.
See: Al-Kyasani. Badai‘u as-sonai‘ fi tartibi ash-sharai‘ [Rare arts in ordering legislation]. In 7 vols. Beirut: al-Fikr, 1996, vol. 1, p. 408; al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy Sh. Mugni al-mukhtaj [Enriching the needy]. In 6 volumes. Egypt: al-Maktaba at-tavfiqiya, [b. G.]. T. 1. S. 563.
The Hanafis talk about the need for this prayer of a quorum, just as it is required for the Friday prayer - three adult, reasonable and observant Muslim men. For details, see: Islamic Law 1-2. M.: 2011. S. 280, 281.
See: Al-Kyasani. Badai‘u as-sonai‘ fi tartibi ash-sharai‘. In 7 vols. T. 1. S. 414.
See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1391, 1392.
The festive prayer consists of only two rak'yaats performed together with the imam.
See below for some details regarding the requirements of the Shafi'i madhhab.
The Imam adds to what has been said that he performs the prayer with the people standing behind him. And the parishioners must stipulate that they are praying with the imam.
This sequence of movements is accepted in the Hanafi madhhab. According to the ritual of the Shafi'i madhhab, takbir is pronounced simultaneously with the raising of hands (moreover, men, like women, raise their hands to shoulder level). See, for example: Ash-Shavkyani M. Neyl al-avtar. In 8 vols. T. 2. S. 186, 187. Both options are possible. See: Al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy Sh. Mugni al-Muhtaj. In 6 vols. T. 1. S. 300.
According to the Shafi'i madhhab, it is desirable to lower the hands on the upper abdomen between the chest and the navel in the region of the heart so that the palm of the right hand rests on the elbow or between the elbow and wrist of the left hand. See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 873.
If the imam follows the religious practice of the Sunnah of the Prophet with the explanations of the scientists of the Shafi'i madhhab, then in the first rak'ah he pronounces seven takbirs before reading the al-Fatiha surah, and in the second - five, also before the al-Fatiha surah. See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1400; al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy Sh. Mugni al-mukhtaj. In 6 vols. T. 1. S. 564.
Shafi'i theologians believed that in the intervals between these takbirs, it is necessary to lower the hands to their original position, that is, to the upper abdomen between the chest and the navel in the region of the heart. Also, the pauses between takbirs are filled with reading to oneself various forms of praise of the Almighty, however, the following formula is the best: “subhaanal-la, wal-hamdu lil-la, va laya ilyayahe illal-lahu wal-lahu akbar.”
See: Al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy Sh. Mugni al-Muhtaj. In 6 vols. T. 1. S. 564.
These additional takbirs, according to all scholars, do not belong to the main part of the holiday prayer. If they are suddenly forgotten by the imam, then there is no need to do an additional prostration (sajdatus-sahv). See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1400.
Regarding the number of takbirs, Islamic theologians had several opinions, each of which is correct and correct to a certain extent from the point of view of the Sunnah. See: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1395.
The imam-shafi'i, unlike the imam-hanafi, pronounces the words "bismil-lyahi rrahmaani rrahiim" before the surah "al-Fatiha" in both rak'yats aloud.
According to Muslim commentators, the word "amin" means "God, answer my prayer" or "So be it."
When performing a holiday prayer (as in three of the five obligatory ones, as well as on Friday), according to the Hanafi madhhab, when the imam completes the reading of the al-Fatiha sura, “amin” is pronounced by everyone to himself, and according to the Shafiite madhhab - aloud.
See: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1396, 1401.
Surah translation see..
All takbirs the imam pronounces aloud.
According to the Shafi'i madhhab, the prayer, saying "Allahu Akbar", raises his hands to shoulder level, and then makes a bow from the waist. Returning to his previous position, he also raises his hands to shoulder level, pronouncing "sami'a llaahu li men hamideh."
Among the Shafiites, it is desirable to read to yourself at the beginning of each rak'yaat "a'uzu bil-lyahi minash-shaytoni rrajim."
The Shafi'i Imam, unlike the Hanafi Imam, pronounces the words "bismil-lyahi rrahmaani rrahiim" before the surah "al-Fatiha" in both rak'yaats aloud.
If the imam follows the Shafi'i madhhab, then in the first rak'yaat he pronounces seven takbirs before reading the al-Fatiha surah, as previously agreed, and in the second - five, also before the al-Fatiha surah. Precisely before the Surah al-Fatiha and before the Bismil-Lehi Rrahmani Rrahim. See: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1400; al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy Sh. Mugni al-mukhtaj. In 6 vols. T. 1. S. 564.
Shafi'i theologians believed that in the intervals between these takbirs, it is necessary to lower the hands to their original position, that is, to the upper abdomen between the chest and the navel in the region of the heart.
The parishioners in all movements of the prayer-prayer do not precede the imam, but strictly repeat after him.
Shafiites usually sit down before the final greeting, tucking the foot of their left foot under the right. Both positions are correct from the point of view of the Sunnah, and both are only desirable.
Making rhythmic movements (twitching) with the index finger while reading tashahhud or at the end of it is not correct. According to the Sunnah, taking into account the comments of scholars, it is more correct not to make unnecessary movements with the index finger. The overwhelming majority of Islamic theologians adhered to this opinion. In addition, some jurists believed that excessive movement of the index finger could break the prayer, make it invalid. See: Al-Khatib ash-Shirbiniy. Mugni al-muhtaj [Enriching the needy]. In 6 vols. T. 1. S. 334. For detailed theological material on this issue, see ..
With this action, a Muslim greets two angels who are on his shoulders and record all good deeds and sins.
The supposed meaning of this action, stipulated by Muslim scholars, is as follows: the vision of a good omen (tafaul) is that the brushes raised to heaven with a prayer are overflowing with Divine grace, goodness. At the end of the dua prayer, the believer wipes his face with this grace. In Muslim theological writings, there are many arguments in favor of the fact that this action has a basis in the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Read more about this in the material "Wiping the face after a supplication-du'a" in my book "Everyone will see Hell."
Unlike the Friday sermon, during the festive sermon, the imam-preacher, having climbed the minbar, does not sit down, but always stands. This was emphasized by Hanafi theologians. The rest of the Islamic scholars assumed that the imam could sit down to rest. See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1406.
It is sunnah for the imam to pronounce these takbirs. It is advisable for parishioners listening to him to speak them to themselves. This is what the Hanafi theologians say. Scholars of the Shafi'i madhhab believe that those present at the festive sermon do not repeat takbirs after the imam, but only listen to him.
See: Al-Kyasani. Badai‘u as-sonai‘ fi tartibi ash-sharai‘. In 7 vols. T. 1. S. 410; al-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vols. T. 2. S. 1419.
Almighty Allah ordered Muslims to celebrate two holidays: Idu-l-fitr (Uraza Bayram, the holiday of breaking the fast) and Idu-l-adha (Kurban Bayram, the holiday of sacrifice). The word "'id" comes from the word "'aud", which means "return", "renewal". One of the explanations for the origin of this word is that Muslims show joy during the holidays, which returns to them every year.
Allah says in the Qur'an (translation of the meaning of the verses): “Successful is the one who cleansed himself, remembered the name of his Lord and performed prayer”(Sura "The Highest", verses 14, 15). Allah also says: "Therefore pray for the sake of your Lord and slaughter the sacrifice"(Sura Abundant, verse 2).
Some scholars believe that the verses of Surah "The Highest" refer to the holiday of Idu-l-fitr. "Successful is he who is cleansed"- that is, he paid zakat-l-fitr; "remembered the name of his Lord"- that is, glorified the night before the holiday; "and prayed"- that is, he performed the holiday prayer.
The verses of Surah “Abundant” are attributed by scientists to the holiday of Idu-l-adha. "Therefore perform prayer for the sake of your Lord"- that is, perform a festive prayer; "and slaughter the victim"- that is, make a sacrifice.
When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) moved to Medina, the Ansar from the time of Jahiliyyah had two holidays in the year in which they had fun. Then Allah replaced them with Idu-l-fitr and Idu-l-adha, which personify the end of two great types of worship, two pillars of Islam - fasting and Hajj in the month of Ramadan.
It is reported that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arrived in Medina, the inhabitants of the city had two days of fun and entertainment. Then he said: “Allah gave you two more beautiful days instead of them: the day of sacrifice and the day of breaking the fast”(Abu Dawud, An-Nasai).
On the morning of the holidays, Muslims perform a festive prayer. According to one of the opinions of scientists, holiday prayer is an imperative sunnah (desirable), according to another, it is a collective duty, according to a third opinion, holiday prayer is an individual duty of Muslims.
Time to commitholiday prayer
The time of the Eid prayer coincides with the prayer spirit- a desirable prayer, the time of which begins from the moment the sun rises to the height of the spear after sunrise (approximately 10-15 minutes) and ends before the zenith.
It is reported that one day several riders returned from a trip and testified that they saw a young month, after which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered everyone to break their fast and gather in the morning in a place of general prayer(Ahmad, Abu Dawud).
Place of commissionholiday prayer
It is advisable to perform the holiday prayer in an open place, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did. It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the holidays of conversation and sacrifice, he went to the place of prayer, where he first performed namaz, and then turned around, stood facing the people who were sitting in rows, and began to read a sermon and give them advice and instructions. If at that time he wanted to send a military detachment somewhere or give some order, he did it, after which he returned to the city(Al-Bukhari, Muslim) .
The place where the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed holiday prayers was outside the city. He went out with people to an open place outside the city, which emphasized the festivity of these days. All Muslims went to holiday prayers - men and women, children and old people, rich and poor. It is more in keeping with the spirit of the holiday, conveying a festive atmosphere and demonstrating the power of Islam and the unity of Muslims, when everyone prays Eid together in an open area.
The righteous caliphs did the same - Abu Bakr, Umar, Usman And Ali(may Allah be pleased with them) - after the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who went out with the people to perform holiday prayers.
It is allowed to perform a festive prayer in the mosque (and according to some scholars, even more preferable). Moreover, there is no problem in performing the Eid prayer in the mosque if there are any obstacles to going out into the open, such as bad weather or a possible fitna (such as bad behavior). Thus, it is reported that the inhabitants of Medina during the time of Caliph Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) performed prayer in the mosque because of the rain, which prevented them from going to their usual prayer house.
As already mentioned, on holidays, days of universal joy, all Muslims went to prayers. Umm ‘Atiyah(may Allah be pleased with her) said: “We were ordered to go out on the day of the holiday. We also took unmarried girls out of their rooms and those who were having their period. They stood behind the people, said takbir with them and turned with them to Allah with prayers, hoping for the blessing of this day and its purification. One of the versions of the hadith says: “Some of the women said: “O Messenger of Allah, one of us does not have a jilbab (veil).” To which he replied: “Let her friend give her her jilbab so she can get dressed.”» (Al-Bukhari, Muslim).
Some Featuresholiday prayers
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) hurried with the performance of the holiday prayer on the day of Edu-l-adha (the feast of sacrifice) and slightly postponed the performance of the holiday prayer on the day I go l-fitr(holiday of breaking the fast). According to the scholars, the reason for this was that it is desirable to make a sacrifice at the beginning of the day, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took care that people had time to do this. However, one should not postpone prayer on the day of Eidul-Fitr in such a way that it brings trouble to people, as the companions pointed out.
Before Eid prayer on the day I go l-fitr preferably have breakfast. Before the Eid prayer on the day I go-l-adha preferably not to eat. It is reported that on the day of breaking the fast, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not leave the house without having breakfast, and on the day of sacrifice, he had breakfast only after performing the holiday prayer(Ahmad, At-Tirmizi).
It is advisable to go to the holiday prayer on foot. It was narrated that ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “According to the Sunnah, one should go to Eid prayer on foot”(At-Tirmizi). 
It is advisable for those who pray to go to the holiday prayer early, after the morning prayer, since they should strive to get into the first row, and since there is good in waiting for prayer. Along the way, it is advisable to say a lot of takbir (see below) and other dhikrs, while raising your voice. It is also advisable to swim, clean up, put on clean, beautiful clothes and smear yourself with incense (for men).
On the way to the holiday prayer, one should show humility before Allah Almighty and abandon arrogance. Women should behave modestly, not wear perfume or dress in a way that attracts attention.
Imam, on the contrary, it is desirable to go to the holiday prayer later. As well as for Friday prayer, for which it is advisable for the imam to come either directly to the khutba, or closer to it. Except if he fears that something might delay him. According to some scholars, the imam should go to the holiday prayer later, closer to the prayer itself, due to the fact that people stop saying takbir when they see the imam, as some companions did. Thus, the imam should not go along with the people and sit with them until the time of prayer, as this is more in line with the status of the imam. Also, the imam should wear the best clothes he has. However, as some scholars have pointed out, it should not be too good so as not to repel the poor, nor should it be too simple so as not to repel the wealthy.
It is advisable to go to the holiday prayer along one road, and return along the other. It is narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was returning from the holiday prayer on the wrong path that he went to him(Al-Bukhari).
Order of commissionholiday prayer
Eid prayer is performed before Eid. khutbas(sermons). It is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Abu Bakr and ‘Umar performed holiday prayers before the holiday sermon(Al-Bukhari, Muslim).
The festive prayer consists of two rak'ahs. In the first rak'ah after takbirat-l-ihram(the first pronunciation of "Allahu Akbar", which begins the prayer) and dua al-istiftah(dua, which is desirable to read before reading Al-Fatiha) and before at-ta'awuz (pronouncing "a'uzu bi-Llahi mina sch-shaytani r-rojim") and reading sura Al-Fatiha, seven takbirs ("Allahu Akbar"), at each of which hands are raised. From Ibn Masud(may Allah be pleased with him) it is narrated that he said between the takbirs: “Allahu Akbar kabiran, wa-l-hamdu li-llahi kasiran, wa subhanallahi bukratan wa asylya.” For this reason, some scientists considered it desirable.
Then prayer is performed as usual until the beginning of the second rak'ah. In it, everything is done the same as in the first, except that instead of seven takbirs, five are read. Surah Al-Fatiha and those following it are read aloud by the imam.
Before and after the Eid prayer, no others are performed. Also, for the holiday prayer, the adhan and iqama are not read.
It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “During the holiday prayer on the day of breaking the fast, one should exalt Allah seven times with the words “Allahu Akbar!” in the first rak'ah and five times in the second rak'ah, after which the Qur'an should be read in both rak'ahs.(Abu Dawud).
It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed a festive prayer of two rak'ahs, and he did not pray either before or after this prayer(Al-Bukhari, Muslim).
It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed holiday prayers without adhan and without iqama(Abu Dawud).
After the Eid prayer, two khutbas are read, in the same way as before the Friday prayer. It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the holidays of conversation and sacrifice went to the place of prayer, where he first performed namaz, and then turned around, stood facing the people who were sitting in rows, and began to read a sermon and give them advice and instructions(Al-Bukhari, Muslim).
For those who missed the Eid prayer, it is advisable to make up for it in the same form in which it is performed. For those who are one late rakat, you should complete the prayer by saying in the second rak'ah five takbirs, as discussed above.
Saying the takbir
On the night of the holidays, it is advisable to say more takbir. Allah says in the Quran: “He wants you to complete a certain number of days(post) and exalted Allah(pronounced takbir) because He has guided you to the straight path. Perhaps you will be grateful."(Sura "Cow", ayat 185). Some scholars have even said that it is obligatory to say the takbir. Takbir is pronounced loudly at home, on the way to the place of the holiday prayer and in the place itself. The pronunciation of takbir ends with the beginning of the holiday prayer by the imam. Takbir is read as follows: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa-llahu, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa li-Llahi-l-hamd."
It is impossible to specifically agree to pronounce the takbir together, and even more so to establish a “leader” who pronounces the takbir, and the others pronounce it after him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not act like this, and this is close to innovation.

The prayer that is performed on the occasion of the Feast of Conversation (Eid al-Fitr, Oraza Ait, Eid al-Fitr) and the Feast of Sacrifice (Eid al-adha, Kurban Ait, Kurban Bayram) has two main forms. Here we will take a closer look at the one that Russian-speaking Muslims most often meet when they come to the mosque for this prayer - a festive prayer according to the Koran, sunnah and other types of arguments in the understanding of the learned imam.
Whoever knows what the imam is going to do is not like the one who does not know. And, perhaps, this material will be useful to someone who himself will become an imam in prayer. In addition, the matter is not limited only to the prayer itself: before and after it there are other recommended actions that are useful to know about and which you should try to perform.
1. Legal status (hukm) of two holiday prayers.
It is obligatory to take part in the holiday prayer () for those in whom the seven conditions have gathered:
- Male gender. Those. This obligation does not apply to women.
- Freedom. Those. This duty does not apply to slaves.
- Accommodation in the village where this prayer is held. Those. This obligation does not apply to travelers.
- No danger from criminals. Those. he who fears persecution by an unjust party is not subject to this obligation.
- Health. Those. the sick and the elderly, who are similar in their condition to the sick, this obligation does not apply.
- Ability of the legs. Those. This obligation does not apply to those who have lost the ability to walk.
- Vision. Those. This obligation does not apply to the blind.
Four people are enough to conduct a festive prayer: an imam and three people praying behind him. Even if one of these three is a traveler, or sick. But not a child who has not reached puberty, and not a woman. Their presence is ignored.
A sick person and a traveler can take the place of the imam in this prayer, although they are not required to attend it.
Hukm according to the Hanafi madhhab
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi Tagala wa barakatuh dear brothers and sisters. Bismillahi
Tonight from September 23 to 24, it is advisable to enliven the service of Allah, that is, spend inshaAllah in vigil and in the all-night Ibadat.
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: The heart of a person who stays awake (in Ibadat) during the night of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha will not die on the Day when hearts are dead, i.e. in Yaum ul-Qiyama."(Tibrani)
The nights of both holidays, i.e. the nights leading up to the days of Eid are auspicious opportunities to be seized with worship and reverence.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said that these nights are great opportunities for ibadat and achieving intimacy and the special Mercy of Allah Ta "ala. Therefore, one should not allow these sacred nights to be missed due to idleness.
You should take full advantage of such opportunities by doing Ibadat Allahu Ta'ala in the best possible way.
One should diligently practice istighfar, tilawat, nafl prayer, durud, etc. on these sacred nights.
Of the rewards that will be received as a result of observing the sacredness of these beautiful nights of Eid, the greatest reward is that which the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) told us about in the above hadith, that is, the heart will not be stricken with horror and fear on the Day of Judgment
Get up early in the morning, take a full bath, the intention is pronounced like this: “I intend to perform a full sunnat ablution on the occasion of Eid al-Adha in the name of Allah”; cut your hair and nails, put on clean clothes (preferably new, if you have one), perfume yourself with incense and, without eating, go to the mosque to perform the Eid prayer.
On the day of Eid al-Adha, they slaughter sacrificial animals - kurban, distribute sadaka to those in need, visit relatives, neighbors, friends, other fellow believers, visit the graves of relatives, receive guests, congratulate each other, express joy and fun on the occasion of the holiday. Sacrifice these days is a highly rewarded act. [AskImam.com ]
Also, I would like to remind you to read"Takbir tashrika"
Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani al-Hanafi writes:« Starting from the Fajr prayer of the 9th Zulhiji until the Asr prayer of the 13th Zulhiji, every Muslim is obliged to pronounce the takbir tashriq after each fard prayer using the following words:
“Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. There is no god but Allah. And Allah is great! Allah is great! And all praise is to Allah!”
Reliable Islamic sources say that every Muslim is obliged to pronounce this takbir after each farz prayer. Women are also encouraged to do this, although it is not mandatory for them. Regardless of whether prayer is performed collectively or alone, the prayer must still say this takbir. It should be noted that men pronounce it in a loud voice, and women pronounce it quietly.» .

Further, with the permission of Allah Almighty, I will give a method for performing Eid prayer (with evidence from the hadiths), from the book of Mufti Jamil Ahmad Naziri al-Hanafi: "Namaz of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم":
Prayer ‘Eid
"Namaz 'id is read in the same way as other prayers, with the only slight difference being that in the 'id prayer, six more takbirs are pronounced: in the first rak'at after "san", three takbirs are pronounced before qira'at, and in the second rak'ate after the qira'at, three more takbeers are said before the ruku'ah.In the first rak'ate, the takbir of tahrima, and in the second rak'ate, the takbir on the hand' are not included in these six takbirs. If you count them together with these six takbirs, then in each rak'at in the state of qiyam there will be four takbirs, as four takbirs are pronounced in the Janaz prayer.
ى وحذيفة بن اليمان كيف كان رسول , عن سعيد بن العاص قال سألت اباموس

(الجنائز فقال حذيفة صدق (ابوداؤد ج ١ ص ١٧٩
Sa‘eed ibn Al-‘As (radiallahu ‘anhu) relates that he asked Abu Musa Ash‘ari (radiallahu ‘anhu) and Hudhaifa (radiallahu ‘anhu): “How many takbirs did the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) say in prayer ‘idul adha and in prayer ‘idul fitr? Abu Musa (radiallahu ‘anhu) replied: “Four takbirs, like the takbirs of the Janaz prayer”, Hudhaifa (radiallahu ‘anhu) said: “You told the truth.” (Abu Dawud vol. 1, p. 179).

(بعد القرأة (مصنف عبدالرزاق ج ۳ ص ۲٩۳
‘Alkama and Aswad (radiallahu ‘anhuma) say that ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (radiallahu ‘anhu) was sitting and next to him were Hudhaifa and Abu Musa Ash‘ari (radiallahu ‘anhuma). Sa'eed ibn al-'As (radiallahu 'anhu) asked them about the takbirs of 'eid prayer. Hudhaifa (radiallahu ‘anhu) said: "Ask Abu Musa Ash'ari (Radiallahu 'anhu) about this," Abu Musa Ash'ari (Radiallahu 'anhu) said, "Ask 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud because he is the oldest among us and is also the greatest scientists." As for Sa'id ibn Al-'As, he asked 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (radiallahu 'anhu). He answered him: “Say four takbirs, then do qira’at, and then perform ruku ‘. Then, after standing on the second rak'at, first do qira'at and after qira'at say four takbirs.(“Musannaf ‘Abdurrazzak” v.3, p.293).
'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas and Mughira bin Shu'ba (radiallahu 'anhuma) also narrated similar hadiths. (“Musannaf ‘Abdurrazzak” v.3, p.295)
Important Questions Concerning ‘Eid Prayer
1- There is no adhan or iqamah for ‘eid prayer. (Muslim vol. 1, p. 289).
2- In ‘eid prayer, the khutbah is recited after prayer. (Bukhari vol. 1, p. 131).
3- Women should not go to the site for ‘eid prayer. (“Musannaf ibn Abi Sheyba” v.2, p. 183).
4- In ‘eid prayer, the Quran is recited aloud. (“Mishkat” vol. 1, p. 126).
5- The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) on the day of ‘idul fitr before the prayer of ‘ida, having eaten an odd number of dates, went to the site for prayer, therefore it is sunnah on the day of ‘idul fitr to go to prayer, eating dates or something sweet.(Bukhari vol. 1, p. 130). But on the day of ‘idul-adha, it is sunnah to eat anything only after prayer. (Tirmizi v.1, p. 71).
6- Go to the site for ‘eid prayer along one road, and return along the other road. (Bukhari vol. 1, p. 134). If for some reason ‘idul-fitr of the first Shawwal was not read, then it is read the next day, but not later than that.(Abu Dawud vol. 1, p. 180).
But if, for some reason, ‘idul-adha could not be performed on the 10th zulhij, then it should be performed on the 11th zulhij, and if even the 11th was not possible, then it is read on the 12th zulhij. It is allowed to perform it on the days of the sacrifice, with the condition that it was not left without a good reason. Otherwise it will be a sin.
On the day of ‘idul-fitr and ‘idul-adha, walking along the road to the site for ‘id prayer, one should read:
الله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر، الله أكبر ولله الحمد
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha illallahu, wallahu akbar, Allahu akbar wa lillahil-hamd. (Bukhari vol. 1, p. 132).
The eid prayer time begins after sunrise and continues until the zenith. (Ibn Maja p. 94). Prayer ‘idul-adha should be read early, and prayer idul-fitr should be delayed a little.
ل & عن ابى الحويرث ان رسول ال كتب الى عمرو بن حزم وهوبنجران عج
(ة ج ١ص ۲۲٧ , ى واخرالفطر (مشكو , الضح
Abul Khuveiris (radiallahu ‘anhu) narrates: “The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) wrote ‘Amr ibn Hazm, in Najran, so that he read ‘idul-adha earlier, and prayer ‘idul-fitr later.”("Mishkat" vol. 1, p. 227)".
Do not forget that: “You cannot perform nafl prayer before the Eid prayer - neither at home, nor in the place where the Eid prayer is performed. Also, you cannot perform the Nafl prayer after the Eid prayer in the same place. However, it is possible to perform the nafl prayer when the person returns home.” [Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani al-Hanafi]
I congratulate everyone on our great holiday تقبل الله منا و منكم "TakabbalaLlahu minna wa minkum."
May Allah accept from us and from you our qurban (as well as other types of worship) and make us from among those who receive the book of their deeds on the right side and see Allahu Tagala in Jannat. Takbir!!!
