The Eid Prayer Without the Additional Takbirs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: In the upcoming Eid al-Adha prayer, I completely missed the prayer. I found a group behind a man who recited al-Fatihah but did not say the additional takbirs, and then he recited a surah after al-Fatihah. What is the validity of this practice? He says that he missed the Eid al-Adha prayer, so he found a group praying and prayed with them. What is the ruling on their practice?
Answer:
That is fine. The additional takbirs are a recommended practice (sunnah). Leaving them out does not invalidate the prayer; the prayer is valid. Yes.
