What is the ruling on the festival prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the festival prayer, and does the one who leaves it off commit a sin?

Answer:
It is a collective obligation (fard kifayah). Some hold that it is an individual obligation (fard 'ayn), such as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. There is scholarly disagreement on this issue. Yes.
