The ruling on the Friday prayer being waived for the congregation if it coincides with the day of Eid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the day of Eid coincides with Friday, is the Friday prayer waived in this case?
Answer:
Yes, its obligation is waived for those who are present, but it is not waived for the imam. However, it is waived for those who are present; the obligation is waived, not the validity. So if he attends and prays it, it suffices for him in place of the Dhuhr prayer, but the obligation is waived for him. For the congregation, the obligation is waived for them. Yes.
