The Ruling on the Prayer of the Two Festivals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of Fatwa No. ( 9555 )
Q3: Is the prayer of the two festivals, 'Id al-Fitr and 'Id al-Adha, obligatory or a recommended practice, and what is the sin on the one who leaves it?
A3: The prayer of the two festivals, 'Id al-Fitr and 'Id al-Adha, each of them is a collective obligation, and some of the scholars said: that they are an individual obligation like Jumu'ah; so it is not befitting for the believer to leave it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
