Salat al-Eid
For those of you offering Salat al-Eid, or Eid prayer, at home, we’ve put together a step-by-step guide to help guide you.
Why is Salat al-Eid prayed?
Salat al-Eid is considered either a sunnah, wajib (required) or fard kifaya (communal obligation) act of worship, depending on the madhab you follow.聽
How to prepare
On the morning of Eid, it鈥檚 sunnah to take a shower (i.e. perform ghusl) before you settle down to pray. It is also sunnah to start the day by eating dates before you鈥檝e prayed.
When to pray
Eid prayer must be performed after the sun has risen. As a result, you cannot pray the Eid prayer immediately after Fajr. Also, Eid prayer must be performed before zawaal. Zawaal refers to the time in which the sun has reached zenith, its highest point in the sky. Therefore, our recommendation is to perform the Eid prayer anytime between the hours of 7 am and 12 pm.
There is no khutbah (sermon) after the prayer if you pray at home. However, you can listen to an online sermon, which is considered mandub (recommended).

4. Perform rukuu and two sajdas as normal. This concludes the first rakah.
5. After you come up from sujood from the first rakah, you recite Surah Al-Fatiha followed by another surah.
6. After the surah, say the takbeer 3 times, then 1 additional takbeer to go to rukuu.
7. After rukuu, you continue with two sajdas and the final sitting as normal to conclude the prayer.
Maliki Madhab
1. Begin with takbeerat al-ihram to open the prayer, then six additional takbeer. The sunnah is to pause at this point for people behind you to repeat after you.

3. Make rukuu, sujood, and come up from the first rakah saying 1 takbeer, as normal.
4. Say 5 additional takbeerat before continuing on through your second rakah as normal.

Eid Takbeerat
Takbeer in Eid Al-Fitr starts right after sun set on the night before Eid and continues till the Imam starts Eid prayer.
On Eid Al-Adha, Takbeer starts from the beginning of the month of Dhul-Hijjah till the last day of Tashreeq (the days of Tashreeq are the 3 days following the day of Eid Al-Adha).
