Today I learned about Eid:
"The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) enjoin zakaat al-fitr, a sea' of data, or a saa' of barley, upon all the Muslim, slave and free, male and female, young and old, and he commanded that it be paid before the people went out to pray.
'The messenger of Allah enjoined Zakat-ul-fitr on the one who fast to purify him from any indecent act or speech and to provide food for the needy. It is accepted as Zakah for then the person who pays it before the Eid prayer and it is sadaqah for the person who pays it after Eid prayer.'
Give money to Zakah foundations.
If you don't have money to give, you qualify for Zakah if you can't pay for it, if you don't' have food and have cash give cash, you don't have cash then if you have access food pay food.
'Abd-Allaah bin 'Umar used to do Ghusl on the day of al-Fitr before going out the prayer-place in the morning. Al-Muwatta' 428 Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said
that the Muslims were unanimously agreed that it is mustahabb to do ghusl for Eid prayer. The reason why it is mustahabb is the same reason as that for doing ghusl before Jumu’ah and other public gatherings. Rather on Eid the reason is even stronger.
Eating before the Salah
Anas ibn Maalik said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used not to go out on the morning of Eid A-Fitr until he had eaten some dates... of which he would eat an odd number.
Takbir
al-Waleed ibn Muslim said: I asked al-Awzaa'i
and Maalik ibn Anas about saying Takbeer out loud on the two Eids. They said Yes, 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Umar used to say it out loud on the day of al-Fitr until the Iman came out ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami said, “They emphasized it more on the day of al-Fitr than the day of al-Adha.”. Wakee’ said this refers to the takbeer.
What to wear
Jaabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be the two Eids and on Fridays. Ibn Khuaymah 1756
Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a saheeed isnaad that Ibn 'Umar used to wear his best clothes on Eid.
Don't go into debt to get nice clothes, and or, don't' beg someone to buy.
Jaabir ibn 'Abd-Allah (may Allah be pleased with him said On the day of Eid the Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to vary his route.
He would go away and go back home in a different way, to give salam to different people.
The Eid Salah
'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
"The prayer of al=Fitr is two Rak'ahs and the prayer of al-Adha is two rak'ahs, complete and not shortened, on the tongue of your Prophet, and the one who fabricated lies is doomed."
Where to Pray
Abu Saeed said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) used to come out of the day of al-Fitr and al-Adha to the prayer place, and the first thing he would do was to offer the prayer.
Pray Eid in a big open field/football field, rows and rows of people pray at one time.
How to pray Eid
in the first rak'ah he should say Takbeerat Alihraam (say "Allaahu akaber" to start the prayer),
after which he should say six or seven more taakbeers, because of the hadeeth of 'Aa'ishah (Allaah be pleased with her), The takbeer of al-Fitr and al-Adha is seven takbeer is the first raka'ah and five takbirs
What to recite
Surah al-Qaf in teh first rak'ah adn surah al-Qamr in teh second
Or surah al-'Ala in the first and surah al-Gashiyah.
Congratulations
Jubayr ibn Nufayr said: When the companions of the prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) met one another on the day of Eid, they would say to one another, "May Allaah accept (good deeds) from us and from you."
Congratulate your friend after the solar.
The Eid prayer it as soon as possible, after Syouruk until Zohor.
Eid Salah during the Pandemic
Should be offered in the usual manner
Should be offered with two rak'ahs and the extra takbeeraat
The recitation should be done out loud
There shoud be no khubah
You don't need to pray Eid in a congregation if you are alone.
