The ruling on praying two rak'ahs before the 'Id prayer

The questioner:
I also see in the mosques where the 'Id prayer is held people praying two rak'ahs before the 'Id prayer, even though I have read that there is no recommended practice (sunnah) before or after the 'Id prayer.

The Shaykh:
It is not prescribed for one who comes to the 'Id prayer ground to pray before the 'Id prayer or after the 'Id prayer; rather, one is to suffice with the 'Id prayer alone, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out for the 'Id prayer and prayed two rak'ahs of the 'Id prayer with them, and he did not pray before it or after it. Yes.

The questioner:
But what if this is in a mosque where the prayer is held?

The Shaykh:
If the prayer is held in the mosque, this is a matter of disagreement among the scholars. Some gave precedence to the greeting of the mosque, citing , while other scholars gave precedence to the 'Id prayer and said that one does not pray before it or after it. So each has a position, and the matter is broad, and praise is due to Allah. Yes.
