2. It is a must (Waajib) to pray Eid Prayer. The Prophet [pbuh] and his Companions never ceased doing it, and they even gathered the people for it including women who were having their menses, children and the elderly. [Bukhari and Muslim]
- The first thing to note is that there are no nafl (voluntary) prayers offered before or after the Eid prayer. As reported by Ibn ‘Abbas (ra): 'The Prophet (saw) went out to the place of prayer on the Day of Fitr and prayed two raka’ah of Eid prayer, not praying before or after them.'
- During the 29 to 30 days of Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. Eid al-Fitr marks the break in the fasting period, and it is one of the most important holidays for Muslims across the globe.
3. It is Sunnah to say Takbeer loudly when leaving our homes to go to Eid Prayer. The Prophet [pbuh] used to say this until he finished the Prayer. [Silsilat Al-ahadeeth As-Sahiha]
Eid al-Adha is celebrated on the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, when the Hajj pilgrimage takes place, and lasts for four days. Muslims may perform an act of zakat and friendship by slaughtering a sheep and distributing the meat to family, to friends, and to the poor.
4. The Sunnah for Eid Prayers is to pray in the Musallah (that is in an uncovered place) and not in the Masjid. The Prophet [pbuh] never prayed Eid Prayer in the Masjid. Abu Sa’eed reported: “The Prophet used to go on the day of Eid -al-Fitr and Eid-al-Adhaa to the Musallah, and the first thing he did was to pray.” [Bukhaari and Muslim]
5. Neither Adhaan nor Iqaamah are pronounced for Eid Prayer. [Muslim]
6. Ibn Abbaas reported: “The Prophet [pbuh] prayed two Rakaahs for the Eid prayer and did not pray before it or after it.” [Bukhaari]
7. Jabir reported: “The Prophet [pbuh] used to come back from Eid-al-Fitr on a path other than the one used in going to it.” [Bukhaari]
8. It is permitted to listen to songs (without musical instruments) on Eid day especially for children. [Bukhaari and Muslim]
What NOT to do on Eid Day

1. To shave the beards especially for Eid. The Prophet [pbuh] has ordered us not to shave our beards; so it is a shame that, on this great day of demonstrating our differences in ceremonies to those of the Mushriks, that some Muslim shaves his beard so that he looks “clean” like the Mushriks.
2. To imitate the Mushriks in their practices and dress, and to shake hands with women. The Prophet [pbuh] said: “It is better that a man is hit with needle on his head than to touch a woman who is not lawful for him.” [Silsilat al-Ahadeeth as-Sahiha]
3. To listen to music on Eid. The Prophet [pbuh] said: “There will be some in my nation who will regard adultery, men dressing in silk, drinking intoxicants (al-Khamr), and musical instruments to be lawful.” [Bukhaari, Abu Dawood and Bayhaqee]
4. For women not to wear Hijaab. To do so is to celebrate Eid while committing a major sin.
5. To visit the graveyard especially on Eid. It is permitted to visit the graveyard all year long so we should not make a special case out of it on Eid.
6. To waste money and being extravagant with food instead of giving them to the poor.

Eid al-Adha is the Muslim holy day that honors the sacrifice Ibrahim (Abraham) was willing to make in obedience to God’s command: the life of his beloved son Isaac. But when Ibrahim was about to sacrifice his son, God —impressed with Ibrahim’s faith — provided a sacrificial ram in the boy’s place. Muslims now celebrate this event by sharing a slaughtered animal in three parts: one part for themselves, one for their family and the third part is given to the needy. We can all join in this spirit of sharing on this special day. The holiday begins on the evening of July 31 this year and runs through August 3rd.
