What are the Takbīrs for the Day of ‘Eid and Greetings

The Takbīrs for the Day of ‘Eid and Greetings

It is from the Sunnah of ‘Eid to recite the takbīrs, and there is no specific restriction in time, and the men should raise their voice with it, but the women recite it to themselves (when in public). 

It is recited in the night before the ‘Eid day and throughout the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah (which precede ‘Eid Al-Adhā). Allah, the Most High, said:

وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ

“Allah wants for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that to which He has guided you and perhaps you will be grateful.” (2:185)

It(Takbir) is recited aloud in the homes, the market places, in the mosques and in every place where it is permitted to mention Allah’s remembrance. On the ‘Eid day recite it aloud when leaving your homes for the outdoor prayer area (musallā). 

It has reported by Ad-Dāruqutni and others from Ibn ‘Umar (radiyallāhu ‘anhumā) that he would leave out on the day of ‘Eid Al-Fitr and Adhā and raise his voice with the takbīrs until he reached the place of prayer. Then he would carry on reciting the takbīr out aloud until the imām arrived.

Ibn ‘Uthaimeen (rahimahullāh) said: “The takbīrs of ‘Eid Al-Fitr begin from the setting of the Sun (maghrib) on the last day of Ramadān until the imām arrives to lead the ‘Eid prayer.” (Majmū’ Al-Fatāwā, 16/259)

The Description of the ‘Eid Prayer and its Takbīrs

A’ishah (radiyallāhu anhā) said: “In both Fitr and Adhā prayers, Allah’s Messenger would make seven takbīrs in the first rak’ah and five in the second ―and these were other than the ones for entering into rukū’.” (Abu Dawūd, no. 1149, authenticated by Al-Albāni) 

Also, Katheer bin Abdillāh narrated from this father, from his grandfather who said: “The Prophet said the Takbir in the first rak’ah seven times before the recitation and in the last rak’ah, five times before the recitation.” (At-Tirmidhi, no. 536, declared sahih by Al-Albāni).

Based on this narration, Imām Al-Baghawi (died 516) concluded: “This is saying of the majority of the scholars among the Sahābah and those who came after them, that he would make seven takbīrs in the first rak’ah after the opening takbir of the prayer. In the second ra’kah, he would make five takbīrs after the takbir for standing, and he would say them before the recitation. 

This has been reported from Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Ali, Ibn ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Abbās, Abu Hurayrah, Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri –and this is the saying of the people of Madinah, and it is the saying of Az-Zuhri, ‘Umar bin ‘Abdul-Azeez, Mālik, Al-Awzā’ee, Ash-Shāfi’ee Ahmad and Ishāq.” (See Sharhus-Sunnah of Al-Baghawi, 2/606)

Some of the scholars have stated (among them, Shaikh Al-Fawzān and Shaikh Ibn ‘Uthaimīn) that six takbīrs are said in the first rak’ah after the opening takbīr ―and after the opening du’ā but before seeking refuge and reciting Al-Fātihah.

The opening takbīr of the prayer is a pillar and cannot be left and the prayer is not valid unless it is said. The rest of the takbīrs (before Al-Fātihah) are Sunnah, not obligatory.

So after the opening takbīr, you recite the opening du’ā of the prayer as normal ―then the additional seven takbīrs are recited. Then straight after the seventh takbīr, you seek refuge with Allah as in the normal prayers because this is seeking of refuge before the recitation of Surah Al-Fātihah ―and Suratul-Fātihah begins with the bismillāh. After Surah Al-Fātihah, recite another Surah.

In the second rak’ah, stand up from the prostration (sajdah) with the utterance of takbīr. 

After that, you recite a further five takbīrs, then the bismillāh, then Surah Al-Fātihah, then another Surah.

SOME HARAM MANY MUSLIM WOMEN COMMIT ON THE DAY OF EID

 The end of Ramadan is not the end of worshipping Allah or the return to Haram.

❤‍🔥 The Allah we worship in Ramadan is the very Allah out of Ramadan so do not worship him only in Ramadan. 

❤‍🩹 The Allah of Ramadan is the Allah of the remaining 11months of the Islamic calender. Don't be a slave or Ramadan by worshipping Allah only in Ramadan. Be a slave of Allah by worshipping HIM throughout your life. 

❣️During Ramadan, we abstain from things that are naturally halal for us so as to train ourselves to abstain from Haram entirely.

🛑 A sign to know Allah has accepted your fasting is when you totally abandon the sins you were doing prior or before Ramadan.

❤‍🔥Don't celebrate the praises of your Lord after fasting for 29/30 days by committing sins. 

💔 Don't allow the enjoyment on the Day of Eid make you forget prayers on time. 

💕 Remember Ramadan is a month of quiting sins and not a month of pausing sins to resume after Ramadan. Fear Allah and do not waste your 30days of fasting.

How to make Eid Takbeer by Ibn Taymiyah | Sunnah Takbir

Ibn Taymiyah summarized the issue of how to make the 'Eid takbir by writing:

[وصفة التكبير المنقول عند أكثر الصحابة، وقد روي مرفوعاً إلى النبي ﷺ: «الله أكبر، الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر الله أكبر، ولله الحمد».

وإن قال الله أكبر ثلاثًا جاز]

The manner of the takbir that has been transmitted from most of the Sahabah and which has also been narrated as coming directly from the Prophet is:

Allah akbar

Allah akbar

La ilaha illAllah

w'Allah akbar

Allah akbar

wa lillahi'l-hamd

And if one were to say "Allah akbar" three times, that is permissible.

When Is It Best To Start Congratulating Each Other For Eid – Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah

Question:

When is it best to start congratulating each other for Eid?

Answer:

It should be on the day of eid after the prayer as it comes in some narrations

بإسناد حسن عن جبير بن نفير قال ” كان أصحاب رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – إذا التقوا يوم العيد يقول بعضهم لبعض : تقبل الله منا ومنك

Hafidh Ibn Hajr rahimahullah said:

“With a Hasan chain from Jubair ibn Nufayr said: The Companions of the Messenger sallahu alayhi wa salam if they used to met on the day of eid they would say to one another: May Allah accept from you and me”

[Fathul Bari]

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah was asked:

Question:

Is the greeting on Eid and what the people say: Eid Mubarak and what resembles that legislated or not? If it does have an origin in the legislation, then what is said? Please give us a verdict may Allah reward you.

Answer:

As for the greeting on Eid, each person says to the other when meeting after the Eid prayer: Tabbaqal Allah Minna wa Minkum and Wa Ahalahul Allahu Alayka and what resembles that. This has been reported from a group of the Companions radiallahu anhu and they allowed it. However, Imam Ahmed said: I do not initiate it to anyone. If someone initiates it with me then I respond to it. That is because responding is obligatory. As for initiating the greeting then it is not a Sunnah ordered. It is also not something prohibited. So whoever does it, then he has an example and whoever leaves it off, then he has an example. And Allah Knows Best”

Sunnah of Eid Al Fitr and Eid AL Adha | Authentic Hadith

It is from the Sunnah to eat some dates before going out to pray on ‘Eid Al-Fitr ―and from the Sunnah of ‘Eid Al-Adhā is not to eat until after the prayer.

Buraidah (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) said: “The Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) would not leave home on the day of Fitr until he had eaten and he would not eat on the day of Adhā until he had prayed.” (Reported by Ahmad and others)

It is from the Sunnah to beautify oneself for the ‘Eid Prayer with the best garments one has due to the hadeeth of Jābir: “The Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) would adorn himself with a garment that he would wear on the two ‘Eids and on the day of Jumu’ah.” (Reported by Ibn Khuzaymah in his Sahīh)

It is reported from Ibn ‘Umar (radiyallāhu ‘anhumā) that “he would wear his best garments on the two ‘Eids.” (Reported by Al-Bayhaqi with a good isnād)

Women must wear the correct hijāb over her house clothes according to the Sharī’ah―which is a khimār over which she wears a jilbāb. She does not apply make-up or wear perfume or high-heels in public.

Women must attend the ‘Eid prayer too. Al-Bukhāri (no. 971) reported from Umm ‘Atiyyah (radiyallāhu anhā): “We were commanded to come out on the day of ‘Eid and to bring out the virgin girls from their houses and menstruating women so that they might stand behind the men and say takbīr along with them and supplicate to Allah along with them and hope for the blessings of that day and for purification from sins.”

Menstruating women witness the prayer and enjoy the blessings of the occasion but do not pray. 

She (radiyallāhu ‘anhā) also said: “Allah’s Messenger would order the virgins, the mature women, the secluded and the menstruating women to go out for the two ‘Eids. As for the menstruating women, they were to stay away from the musallā (i.e. from the prayer) and participate in the Muslims supplications.” One of them said: “O Messenger of Allah! What if she does not have a jilbāb?” He said: “Then let her sister lend her a jilbāb.” (Tirmidhi, no. 539)

TWO: It is the Sunnah to eat an odd number of dates before leaving home on the day of ‘Eid

A person should eat three, or five or a greater odd number due to the hadeeth of Anas (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) who said: “The Prophet would not leave out on the day of ‘Eid Al-Fitr until he had eaten some odd number of dates.” (Bukhāri).

THREE: The Takbīrs of ‘Eid

Abdullāh bin ‘Umar (radiyallāhu ‘anhumā) said: “Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) would say the takbīr on the day of Fitr from the time he left his house until he reached the prayer area.” (A hasan hadeeth) And Nāfi’ said: “Ibn ‘Umar would leave the home on the day of Fitr and Adhā and would say the takbīr out aloud until he reached the place of prayer. Then he would make the takbīrs until the imām arrived. He would make takbīr with his takbīr.” (Reported by Ad-Dāruqutni and others with a sāhih chain of narration).

Note: Calling out the takbīrs in unison as a congregation as one voice is an innovation (bid’ah) ―it is not established from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) or his Companions. What is correct is that each person makes takbīr individually. (See also Majmū’ Al-Fatawā of Ibn Uthaimeen, 16/288)

FOUR: It is a Sunnah to walk to the ‘Eid prayer

‘Ali (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) said: “From the Sunnah is to leave to the ‘Eid prayer walking.” Reported by Tirmidhi, who said: This hadeeth is hasan and most of the people of knowledge hold that this hadeeth should be acted upon. They held it to be recommended to walk to the ‘Eid prayer and not ride unless there is a valid excuse.

FIVE: Take a different route home from the one you take to reach the the Musallā

Jābir (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) said: “The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) would take different routes on the day of ‘Eid.” (Al-Bukhāri)

SIX: If ‘Eid falls on the same day as Jumu’ah, then the one who prayed ‘Eid is not obligated to attend Jumu’ah

Ibn ‘Abbās (radiyallāhu ‘anhumā) narrated from Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) that he said: “The ‘Eids have come together on this day of yours, so whoever wishes not to offer Jumu’ah, the ‘Eid prayer is sufficient for him. But we shall offer the ‘Eid prayer, inshā’-Allāh.” (Abu Dawūd, 1073)

What are the some of the Sunnah acts for the day of 'Eidul-Fitr

Some of the sunan (acts from the Sunnah) for the day of 'Eidul-Fitr

1. It is recommended to bathe on this day. Due to the Mursal narration (in which a Tabiee narrates directly from the Prophet, salallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) from Ibn Al Mussayib who said: 

“The Sunnah of (Eid) Al Fitr are three: walking to the Musalla (place of prayer) , eating before going out to the Musalla, and bathing". 

Al Firyaabi narrated it with a Hasan (good) chain, alongside the narration of Ibn Umar, in Al Muwatta with a good chain that he used to bathe on the day of Al Fitr before he would go out to the Musalla.

2. Beginning the Takbeer after the setting of the sun on the last day of Ramadan due to Allah's statement:

وَلِتُكْمِلُوا۟ ٱلْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ 

(He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbir (Allahu-Akbar; Allah is the Most Great) on seeing the crescent of the months of Ramadan and Shawwal] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.

[2:185]

And he stops with the opening Takbeer of the Imam for the Eid prayer.

3. On Eid Al Fitr it is befitting that he eats dates before going out to the Musalla due to the narration of Anas:

“The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) would not go out on the day of Al fitr until he ate some dates"

[Al-Bukhari]

4. Going out to the Musallah and it shouldn't be prayed in the Masjid except due to an excuse.

In the Two Saheehs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) from the narration of Abu Saeed Al Khudree:

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to proceed to the Musalla on the days of Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adhaa".

How Women Should Go Out On The Day Of Eid

Imam Ibn Qudama rahimahullah wrote:

“Verily it is recommended for them [the women] to come out not perfumed and not wearing a clothing of fame/popularity nor adornment. They should come out in the clothing they wear when serving/working due to the statement of the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salaam:

لِيَخْرُجْنَ وَهُنَّ تَفِلاَت

“but they may go out (to the mosque) having not perfumed themselves”

[Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood no. 565]

They should not mix with the men, but be to the side of them”.

[Mughni (2/116)]

Imam al-‘Adheemabaadi rahimahullah explained the above Hadith saying:

“That is, not perfumed. It is said a woman is ( تفلة) if her scent changes. That is what Ibn Abdul Barr said and others said. That is what Shawkaani said. In al-Ma’aalim it states: ( التفل) is a bad scent. A woman is said to be ( تفلة) if she is not perfumed and women are called ( تفلات) [end quote]. Verily, they were ordered that and prohibited from perfume as in the narration of Muslim ibn Zaynab so that they do not stir the men by their perfume. Connected to perfume is whatever takes its meaning from the things that stir the desires, like good clothing and jewelry whose traces are seen and luxurious adornment”.

[‘Awn al-Ma’bood]

However, some of the Salaf interpreted the word (تفلات ) to mean without perfume, instead of smelling bad.

حدثنا هشيم عن يونس عن الحسن قال : كن النساء يجمعن مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وكان يقال : لا تخرجن إلا تفلات لا يوجد منكن ريح طيب

Hasan al-Basri rahimahullah said: “The women used to gather with the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam and it used to be said: Do not come out except (تفلات) a good scent should not be present with you”

[Reported by Ibn Abi Shaybah in his Musannaf and graded Saheeh by al-Albani in al-Ajwibah an-Nafiah pg. 48]

Shaikh Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad hafidhuhallah explained it as:

“There is not with them a good scent. Verily, they come out in their usual scent which does not have perfume. Verily they come out of their houses without beautifying and perfuming. The intent of (التفلة) is without perfume. So she comes out with the scent, that which upon her (and) without using perfume”

[Sharh Sunan Abi Dawood no.78]

While a woman does not have to wear the clothing she wears while serving or working, she should wear a jilbab on the day of Eid.

Proof:

عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَ، الْحُيَّضَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدَيْنِ وَذَوَاتِ الْخُدُورِ، فَيَشْهَدْنَ جَمَاعَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَدَعْوَتَهُمْ، وَيَعْتَزِلُ الْحُيَّضُ عَنْ مُصَلاَّهُنَّ‏.‏ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِحْدَانَا لَيْسَ لَهَا جِلْبَابٌ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ “‏ لِتُلْبِسْهَا صَاحِبَتُهَا مِنْ جِلْبَابِهَا ‏”‌‏

Narrated Um Atiya:

We were ordered to bring out our menstruating women and veiled women in the religious gatherings and invocation of Muslims on the two Id festivals. These menstruating women were to keep away from their Musalla. A woman asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ‘ What about one who does not have a veil?” He said, “Let her share the veil of her companion.”

[Al-Bukhari no. 351]

Hafidh Ibn Hajr rahimahullah said:

“The intent is her sister who is a friend. It is possible to mean that she shares her thawb with her. What supports this is the version of the Hadith in Abu Dawood: ‘Let her wear some of her clothing’. That is if it is spacious. It is possible that the intent of his statement, ‘her clothing’ is a type of clothing, so it returns to the first. It is taken from this Hadith the permissibility of two women being under or in one clothing when covering. It was said this was mentioned by way of exaggeration”.

[Fath ul-Baari]

Mulla Ali Qaari rahimahullah said:

“In this Hadith is the recommendation of preparing a Jilbaab for a woman, the permissibility of borrowing clothing, and preventing a woman from going out without a Jilbaab”

[Mirqaatul Mafatih (5/32)]

So a woman should wear a Jilbab on the day of Eid and if she does not have one, she should either borrow one from her friend or even wear the same Jilbab as that of her friend! This instruction and guidance of the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam is lost nowadays. 

In fact, we see the Muslim women, young and old, doing the opposite by wearing all types of revealing clothing on the day of Eid, perfumed, and adorned. The Jilbab for many sisters has been replaced with a summer dress which does not meet the requirements of the Hijab. Let alone those who wear pants and other such clothing. Allahu Mustaan.

We ask Allah to guide our sisters back to the Sunnah and to the example of our pious predecessors. May Allah give them the courage to leave off all this fashion in favor of the clothing of taqwa.

And Allah Knows best

Hafidh Ibn Hajr rahimahullah said:

“With a Hasan chain from Jubair ibn Nufayr said: The Companions of the Messenger sallahu alayhi wa salam if they used to met on the day of eid they would say to one another: May Allah accept from you and me”

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah was asked:

Question:

Is the greeting on Eid and what the people say: Eid Mubarak and what resembles that legislated or not? If it does have an origin in the legislation, then what is said? Please give us a verdict may Allah reward you.

Answer:

As for the greeting on Eid, each person says to the other when meeting after the Eid prayer: Tabbaqal Allah Minna wa Minkum and Wa Ahalahul Allahu Alayka and what resembles that. This has been reported from a group of the Companions radiallahu anhu and they allowed it. 

However, Imam Ahmed said: I do not initiate it to anyone. If someone initiates it with me then I respond to it. That is because responding is obligatory. As for initiating the greeting then it is not a Sunnah ordered. It is also not something prohibited. So whoever does it, then he has an example and whoever leaves it off, then he has an example.

What is the ruling on raising The Hands In The Eid Prayer 

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Shaikh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wad’iee rahimahullah was asked:

Question: Is the opening takbir in the eid prayer included in the seven takbeerat in the eid prayer? And is the takbir for changing position included in the five takbeerat in the second rakat? And what is the ruling on raising the hands with every takbir?

Answer: “That which is apparent to me is that it is not included. It is a good question and the People of Knowledge mentioned this. Some said that it is included and some say it is not included. 

What is apparent is that it is not included because after the opening takbeer he opens the prayer and after opening the prayer he makes seven takbeerat. Raising the hands with every takbir is not established”.

What is the Ruling On Decorating Our Houses On The Day Of Eid

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy upon him, was asked:

Question:

“What is the ruling on participating with the Christians on the birthday of the Messiah (Christmas) in which the people of the land celebrate this religious day? Many of them decorate their houses with some flowers and they place different types of lights on the walls of their houses and on other places as a form of adornment. Is it allowed for a Muslim to decorate the outside of his house with flowers and lights on the days of Eid of the Muslims?

Likewise, during this festival [i.e. Christmas] there are cars which go to the different districts carrying some sweets. They distribute them to the children in the neighbourhood for free. The children compete to obtain these sweets. We live among these people and our children see the likes of these actions. What is the ruling on our children to take these sweets?"

Answer:

“As for displaying happiness, joy, and adornment on Christmas or other than it from religious celebrations of the Christians, then it is haram without doubt. Rather, we say as Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:

‘If such a person is safe from disbelief [for committing this action], then the action which he has committed is more severe than drinking alcohol or other than that from what the Christians believe to be lawful. It is unlawful in the legislation’ End. [Ahkaam Ahlul-Dhimmah (1/441)]

So it is obligatory upon the Muslims to have honour and self-respect and not be followers of these Christians.

In regards to these cars, then it is upon the Muslims to object to the Christians if they go around with their cars in the neighbourhood of the Muslims. They should make apparent their rejection [of that action] towards them.

As for decorating the houses on the Eid of the Muslims, then I do not see any harm in this because this is displaying joy and happiness just as it is allowed to play the Duff (the hand drum), play with spears, and the likes [on that day]." End. [Fataawa ‘ala at-Tareeq (pg. 21-22)]

Cover your self and do not expose your self. Don't perfume.

8. Eating before going out to pray on Eid al-Fitr   odd dates

 Anas ibn Maalik رضي الله عنه  who said that the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) used not to go out on the morning of Eid al-Fitr until he had eaten some dates… of which he would eat an odd number.

 Al-Bukhaari, 953.

9 . Give zakāh Al-fitr before the eid prayer 

10. Go to salaah and pray attentively. 

Listen to khutbah.

Let your eid be Joyful & cherished. In shaa Allaah🌸

Rituals of the Eid by Abu 'Abdirrahman Yahya bin 'Ali Al-Hajūri

بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم

◾️It is incumbent upon the Muslims to give attention to this eid, displaying the ritual of this eid, and joy in it◾️

By our Shaykh, the 'Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu 'Abdirrahman Yahya bin 'Ali Al-Hajūri - may Allāh preserve him - 

🎙"And the blessed eid is commencing in the forthcoming days, it is incumbent upon the Muslims to give attention to it, displaying joy in it, and not having expectations that perhaps they may fear of, upon things which the affair in it is to Allāh

(قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ كُلَّهُ لِلَّهِ) 

"Say you (O Muhammad ﷺ): "Indeed the affair belongs wholly to Allah." 

So they display this ritual, the ritual of eid."

And the Prophet ﷺ used to order the menstruating women, and the purdah-observing women to come out and witness the supplications of the Muslims and the good. As it comes in the hadeeth of Umm Atiyyah: 

يأمر بإخراج العواتق، والحُيَّض، وذوات الخدور إلى صلاة العيد؛ يشهدن الخير ودعوة المسلمين، ويعتزل الحْيَّضْ المصلى

"He ordered us with the bringing out of the adolescent girls and the menstruating women and the purdah-observing women to the eid prayer, to witness the good and the supplications of the muslims, and the menstruating women stay away from the place of prayer."

[Reported by Bukhāri]

She doesn't pray but she sits listens to the speech of Allāh, the speech of His Messenger ﷺ, and she listens to the supplications of the Muslims, and she witnesses the good, so the ritual of worship is displayed, and she becomes joyful with the joy of the Muslims even if she doesn't pray.

And the point of benefit from that, is that it is incumbent that these rituals are implemented in times of ease and hardship, when there is no preventing factor which necessitates preventing from this, and there is nothing which necessitates it - and praise is to Allāh - The people are still in well-being, and likeso what happens from that is strength in Eēmān, every time a persons morale weakens, and his expectations diminish, the whisperings of Shaytān overcome him, and delusions overcome him, and weakness in morale overcomes him, he may even be afflicted with diminishing religious and worldly affairs.

Every time a person's morale strengthens upon the obedience of Allāh, for verily Allāh loves this. 

المؤمن القوي خير وأحب إلى الله من المؤمن الضعيف وفي كل خير

"The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but in all is good." 

(يَا يَحْيَىٰ خُذِ الْكِتَابَ بِقُوَّةٍ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا) 

"O Yahya (John)! Hold fast the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah)]." And We gave him wisdom while yet a child."

Taking the affairs with determination is requested, as is in the evidences.

So the affair in that is flexible, that a person is joyful with the obedience of Allāh as is in the two Sahihs that the Prophet ﷺ said:

للصائم فرحتان يفرحهما: إذا أفطر فرح بفطره، وإذا لقى ربه فرح بصومه

"The fasting person experiences two joys, when he breaks his fast he is joyful at breaking it, and when he meets his Lord he is joyful with his fasting." 

So being joyful with eid is legislated due to this hadith, joyfulness is legislated, it's limits are not to be exceeded; and from that (being joyful): Is being joyful with the displaying of this ritual and worship of Allāh with his remembrance and present blessings. 

And being cautious concerning that from legislative oppositions, like being joyful with songs, and beautification by shaving the beard, and what is of legislative oppositions, and clothes which are not appropriate whether for the men or women, but rather the clothes of the Muslims and the clothes of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and his companions and what is from the legal clothing.

So what is of this (kind) it is the joy that Allāh ﷻ will complete it in this life then it will be followed by the joy in the next life, Allāh said:

(فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَيَقُولُ هَاؤُمُ اقْرَءُوا كِتَابِيَهْ¤ إِنِّي ظَنَنتُ أَنِّي مُلَاقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ¤ فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ¤ فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ¤ قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ ¤ كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِي الْأَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ)

"Take, read my Record! Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account! So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing. In a lofty Paradise, The fruits in bunches whereof will be low and near at hand. Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!"

And we ask Allāh to grant us success to what he loves and is pleased with."

Salaatul 'Eid  Prayer of Eid from Authentic Hadith

بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم

◾️Salaatul 'Eid ◾️

By our Shaykh, the 'Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu 'Abdirrahman Yahya bin 'Ali Al-Hajūri - may Allāh preserve him - on the 24th, Ramadhān, 1441H

                          

Salaatul 'Eid for the one it has not been made easy for him to come out or for the one who is unable.

Salaatul 'Eid is to be prayed in congregation due to the saying of the prophet ﷺ:

"...وليغدوا من الغد إلى مصلاهم..." 

From tomorow go to their place of prayer.

And due to the hadeeth of umm 'Ateeyah the prophet ﷺ ordered the menstruating women to come out (for 'Eid) to witness the goodness and the d'awah of the Muslims.

Whether she prays or not the important thing is that she comes out and witnesses the goodness and the d'awah of the Muslims i.e on the side without freemixing.

And whoever it has not been made easy for him to come out and pray in congregation either due to a sickness or due to guarding which cannot be left off, or another than that, than he prays it by himself like the characteristics of salaatul 'Eid:

▪️So he makes 7 takbeeraat before reciting, and the correct opinion is that this is not including the takbeeratul ihraam (the opening takbeer).

▪️Then he begins reciting.

(Note)

He begins these takbeeraat after performing the takbeeratul ihraam and du'aatulis-tiftaah (the opening supplication) 

Then in the first rak'ah he recites:

( سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى)

Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High

And in the second:

(هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ)

Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection);

And if he wants then he can read in the first rak'ah:

(ق ۚ وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ)

Qaf. By the Glorious Quran.

And in the second:

( اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ)

The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder.

By completing them. 

In the first rak'ah he reads the whole surah and likewise in the second. 

He is not to divide the surah between the 2 rak'aat.

▪️And once he stands up for the second rak'ah, after making the takbeer for standing, he performs 5 takbeeraat and then he recites.

So he prays it, even by himself, and whether that be in the house or wherever is made easy for him. 

And he does not perform the khutbah of 'Eid, it isn't needed if he's by himself or with someone else.

The khutbah of 'Eid is a sunnah, it is only mustahab (recommended), meaning it is an admonition.

The 'Eid khutbah is only one khutbah, it is an admonition to remind (the people) about the blessings of Allah.

So if he doesn't do the khutbah there is nothing upon him.

✨(Benefit)✨

( سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى)

Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High

Is read in:

▪️The first rak'ah for both 'Eids

▪️Jumu'ah

▪️Witr 

From the hadeeth of ubay - May Allah be pleased with him- that the prophet ﷺ  if he ever performed witr with 3 rak'aat, he would recite in the first:

( سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى)

Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High

And in the second:

(قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ)

Say (O Muhammad ﷺ to the disbelievers) "O Al-Kafirun (disbelievers)

And in the third 

( قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ)

Say (O Muhammad ﷺ): "He is Allah, (the) One.

Ruling on Eid Prayer | How we should perform Eid Salah a short description

Ruling on Eid Prayer | How we should perform Eid Salah a short description | Sunah Of Eid

A short description of the Eid Prayer:

1 - The Eid Salaah consists of two Raka'ahs. Umar (radhi allahu anhu) said: “The traveler’s prayer is two raka'ah; the Adha prayer is two Raka'ah; and the Jumuah prayer is two Rak'ah; this is their full length as came from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam).” [(saheeh) Musnad Ahmad, Nisa'ee, Baihaqee and others] 

2 - The Eid Salaah is not preceded by the adhan (the call to announce the prayer time) or Iqamah (the call to start prayer). Jabir bin Samurah (radhi allahu anhu) said: “I prayed the Eid prayer with Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam), on more than one occasion, without adhan or Iqamah.” [Saheeh Muslim] 

3 - No Sunnah prayer may precede or follow the Eid prayer, except if it is performed in a Masjid instead of a Musallah, in which case one must pray two raka'hs before sitting down. Ibn Abbas (radhi allahu anhu) reported: “The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) went out (of his house) on the day of Fitr, prayed two raka'hs and did not pray before or after it.” [Zaad al-Maad (2/443)] 

4 - Like any other deed in Islam, the prayer must be preceded with a true intention of worshiping Allah alone in the heart. 

5 - The first raka'h (one prayer unit) is initiated with Takbeer al-ihram, followed by the opening supplication. 

6 - Then followed by seven Takbeers in the first raka'h and five more in the second rak'ah. Aa'ishah (radhi allahu anha) said: “Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) would say Takbeer in both Fitr and Adha: seven in the first and five in the second, other than the two Takbeers of Ruku (bowing).” [(Saheeh) - Abu Dawood (1150) and others] 

7 - After the Takbeer one should recite Ta'awwuth - 'A'uthu billahi min ash-Shaytaan ir-Rajeem' meaning “I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast devil” and Basmallah 'Bismillah ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem' meaning 'In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.' 

8 - Followed by the recitation of Soorah al-Fatihah 

9 - Then, the recitation of Soorah al-Qaaf in the first raka'h and the Soorah al-Qamar in the second - OR - Soorah al-Alaa in the first and Soorah al-Ghashiyah in the second. Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said: “Both of these have been authentically reported from the action of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam), nothing else is authentic.” [Zaad al-Maad (1/443)] Note: Reciting a Soorah different from the ones mentioned above will too complete the prayer. The remainder of the prayer is performed in the same manner as any other prayer, without any difference. 

The Eid Khutbah: 

The Sunnah of the Eid Khutbah is that it should be delivered after the Eid Salaah. Ibn Abbas (radhi allahu anhu) said: “I attended the Eid with Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam), Abu Bakr (radhi allahu anhu) Umar (radhi allahu anhu) and Uthman (radhi allahu anahu); all of them would pray before the Khutbah.” [Saheeh al-Bukharee] 

Listening to the Eid Khutbah is not wajib , Abdullah bin as-Sa'ib (radhi allahu anhu) reported that he attended the Eid prayer with the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam); and when he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) finished the prayer, he said: “We shall have a Khutbah; so let whoever wishes to sit for the Khutbah do so, and whoever wishes to leave, may leave.” [(saheeh) Abu Dawood)] 

If the Eid falls on a Friday, it becomes optional for men to attend the Jumu'ah prayer. Abu Hurayrah (radhi allahu anhu) reported that on such occurrence, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Two Eids have coincided on this day of yours; thus whoever wishes, is exempted from attending the Jumu'ah prayer.

Yet we shall hold it.” [Authenticated by Shaikh al-Albanee in Irwa ul-Ghalil] 

It should be noted that if one does not attend the Jumu’ah prayer, then it becomes obligatory on him to offer the Dhuhr prayer. 

Eid celebrations are religious occasions, but the joy that occurs on the Eid, has made many people forget or become negligent of the Deen and Islamic regulations. Whilst enjoying and celebrating this great day of Eid one shoul

avoid celebrating the Eid in a way similar to the Kuffar, who overstep Allah's boundaries when they rejoice. They indulge in various acts of disobedience, such as mingling of men and women, wearing improper clothes, dancing, listening to music, drinking alcohol etc. Also, Muslims must avoid performing unjustified practices and Bid'ahs, like spending the night preceding the Eid in extended worship, visiting the graves etc. Finally, We ask Allah to give us the correct understanding of His Deen and make all our worships sincerely for His Face. Ameen!
