Is the festival prayer an individual obligation or a collective obligation?

Question:
Is the obligation of the festival prayer a collective obligation or an individual obligation?

Answer:
There are two opinions among the scholars, and the closer one is that it is like the Friday prayer, an individual obligation, so there is no indication that it is a collective obligation.
Q: The festival prayer is an individual obligation, as stated by the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. What is the evidence for his position?
A: It is like the Friday prayer; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it... The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it, even ordering women to go out; due to the hadith of Umm Atiyyah, women were ordered to go out. This confirms its obligation and that it is like the Friday prayer; because it gathers the Muslims to listen to the remembrance and the sermon. It is performed twice a year: 'Id al-Adha and 'Id al-Fitr. It has a great virtue and an impact on reforming the Muslim community.

Q: Does he make it up as four rak'ahs or as two?
