How to pray eid salah
The below wordings are reported from the Sahabas so one can choose any of the below.ġ. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that he used to come to the prayer-place on the morning of the day of Eid al-Fitr, when the sun had risen, and he would recite takbeer until he reached the prayer-place, then he would recite takbeer in the prayer-place until the imam sat down and stopped reciting takbeer.Īlso see: Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 16/269-272. It was narrated from ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr and Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan that they used to recite the takbeer out loud when they came to the prayer-pace in the morning, and that Naafi’ ibn Jubayr used to recite the takbeer out loud when he came to the prayer-place in the morning of the day of Eid. Then he narrated from Sa’eed ibn al-Musayyib, ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, Abu Salamah and Abu Bakr ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan, that they used to recite takbeer on the night before Eid al-Fitr in the mosque, reciting the takbeer out loud. They should pronounce the takbeer openly and continue to recite it until they come to the prayer-place the next morning, and after that until the imam comes out to lead the prayer, then they should stop reciting the takbeer. When they see the new moon of Shawwaal, I like all the people to recite takbeer together and individually in the mosques, the marketplaces, the streets, the houses, travellers and non-travellers in all situations, no matter where they are. It is completed when the sun sets on the last day of the month of Ramadaan. “(He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allaah for having guided you” However Imam Al Sha’afi recommends saying the takbeer from the night we have sighted the moon to end the fasting of Ramadan :Īl-Shaafa’i said in al-Umm: I heard from some scholars whom I trust and who are knowledgeable about the Qur’aan: When the imam arrived, they became silent but if he said the takbir, they would also say it.” When Ibn ‘Umar went out (of his house) on the morning of the day of Fitr and the day of Adha, he would say the takbir aloud until he reached the musalla (or outdoor praying place), then he would say it until the imam arrived (for the prayer)Ĭonclusion : Therefore the general rule for the two Eids is as reported by az-Zuhri (RA): “The people said the takbir on Eid from the time they left their homes until they reached the musalla (or outside praying place), and (said it at the musalla) until the imam arrived. Once he had performed the prayer, he would stop saying the takbir.Īl-Albani said: “this hadeeth provides evidence for the Muslims’ common practice of sayng the takbir aloud en route to the musalla (or outside prayer place) even though many people have now neglected this sunnah, until it is almost totally forgotten. Az-Zuhri (RA) reported: “Allah’s Messenger (SAW) would heave his house on the day of Fitr, saying takbir until he reached the musalla (in this useage meaning outdoor praying area) to perform the prayer. On Eid ul-Fitr, Takbir starts from the moment of leaving the home to the open field. WHEN SHOULD WE START GIVING THE TAKBEER AND WHEN SHOULD IT END? this is only a document chalking out the method to pray the Eid ul Fitr.
