Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : That the Eid prayer in Madinah is prayed outside the city, so is the entire city to be measured by this?
Answer : It is better to pray the Eid prayer outside the town, in the open desert, in all towns except Makkah. The reason for the exception in Makkah is that there is no comfortable open desert in Makkah where people can gather, because it is mountainous. As for Madinah and towns like it, holding the prayer outside the town is easy.
