Method of Performing Eid Namaaz
The method of performing the Eid Namaaz is as follows:
1. Make the Niyyat of 2 Raka’ats Waajib or Eid ul Fitr
or Eid ud Duha.
2. Raise the hands to the ears and say اللہ اکبر ‘Allahu
Akbar’.
3. Then read the Thana.
4. Then raise both hands to the ears, say اللہ اکبر
‘Allahu Akbar’ and release the hands.
5. Then again, raise both hands to the ears, say اللہ اکبر
‘Allahu Akbar’ and release the hands.
6. Then again, raise both hands to the ears, say اللہ اکبر
‘Allahu Akbar’ and tie the hands. In other words, tie the hands after the first
Takbeer and after that leave, the hands untied after the next two Takbeers and then
tie the hands after the Fourth Takbeer. Remember it is this way that if
something needs to be recited after that Takbeer, then the hands will be tied
and after those Takbeers in which there is nothing to read, leave the hands
untied in them.
7. The Imam should then recite اعوذ
A’oozu (the Ta’ooz) and the بسم اللہ. Bismillah (Tasmiyah) softly and he should then recite
the Alhamdu (i.e. Surah Faateha) and a Surah.
8. He should then perform Ruku (and complete that
Raka’at as normal).
9. In the second Raka’at he should first recite the
Alhamdu (Surah Faateha) and the Surah.
10. He should then raise the hands to the ears saying
Allahu Akbar and not tie the hands (release the hands). This should be done
thrice.
11. He should then say Allahu Akbar for the fourth time
and without raising the hands he should go into Ruku. (Complete Namaaz as normal).
From this, it can be ascertained that there are six (6) extra
Takbeers in the Namaaz of Eidain. Three Takbeers are before the Qir’at, after the
Takbeer-e-Tahreema, and three Takbeers are in the second Raka’at after the
Qir’at and before the Takbeer of Ruku. The hands will be raised in all six
Takbeers, and between every two Takbeers, there should be a short pause equal
to the duration of 3 Tasbeehs. In Eidain it is Mustahab to recite Surah Jummah
in the first Raka’at and Surah Munafiqoon in the second, or to recite سَبِّحِ اسْمَ
‘Sabihisma’ in the first Raka’at and ھَلْ اَ تٰکَ
‘Hal Ataaka’ in the second. [Durr-e-Mukhtar
vol.1 pg.779]
Law: If the Imam said more than six Takbeers, then
the Muqtadis should also follow the Imam, but they should not follow him if he exceeds
thirteen Takbeers. [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.780]
Law: If the Muqtadi joined (the Namaaz) in the
first Raka’at after the Imam proclaimed the Takbeers, he should proclaim the 3
Takbeers at that time, even though the Imam has already commenced the Qir’at, and
only 3 should be proclaimed, even though the Imam may have proclaimed more. If
he (the late joiner) did not yet get the chance to say the Takbeers and the
Imam went into Ruku, then he should not say the Takbeers whilst standing, but
he should go into Ruku with the Imam and say the Takbeers in Ruku. If he found
the Imam in Ruku already, and he feels that there is predominant likelihood
that he would be able to say the Takbeers and still get the Imam in Ruku, then
he should proclaim the Takbeers whilst standing and then join the Imam in Ruku.
Otherwise, he should just say Allahu Akbar and go into Ruku and then proclaim
the Takbeers in Ruku. If he was not able to complete the Takbeers in the Ruku,
and the Imam raised his head (stood up from Ruku), then the remaining Takbeers
will fall off (i.e. there is no need to say them). If he joined after the Imam
came up from Ruku, then he should now not proclaim the Takbeers, but he should
proclaim them when he reads his own (i.e. when he is fulfilling the missed
Raka’at at the end). Wherever it has been mentioned about proclaiming the
Takbeers in the Ruku, it means that he should do so without raising the hands.
If the latecomer joined in the second Raka’at, then he should not say the
Takbeers of the first Raka’at now, but when he stands up to fulfil his missed Raka’at,
he should say it at that time. If he gets the Takbeers of the second Raka’at
with the Imam, then well and good, but the same explanation will apply as we
have explained regarding the first Raka’at. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg. 151; Shaami
vol.1 pg.781/782]
Law: That person who has joined the Imam and then
fell asleep, or if his Wudu broke, and he performed ‘Bina’, then now when he
reads, he should proclaim the amount of Takbeers that the Imam has proclaimed,
even if there were as many (Takbeers) according to his Madhab. [Alamgiri vol.1
pg.151]
Law: If the Imam forgot to proclaim the Takbeer
and went into Ruku, he should not return towards Qiyaam, and neither should he say
the Takbeers in the Ruku. [Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.787]
Law: If the Imam forgot the Takbeers in the first
Raka’at and commenced the Qir’at, he should proclaim them after the Qir’at, and
he should not repeat the Qir’at. [Ghuniya; Alamgiri vol.1 pg.151]
Law: If the Imam did not raise his hands in the
extra Takbeers, the Muqtadis should not follow him, but they should raise their
hands. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg.151]
Law: After the Namaaz (of Eid) the Imam should
read two Khutbahs, and all those things which are Sunnat in the Khutbah of
Jummah are also Sunnat here, and those things which are Makruh there are Makruh
here as well. There is only a difference in two things, the first is that in
the Khutbah of Jummah, it is Sunnat for the Khateeb to sit before the first
Khutbah, and in this (Eid) not to sit is Sunnat. The second difference is that
in this (Eid Khutbah) it is Sunnat to say Allahu Akbar 9 times before the Khutbah,
7 times before the second Khutbah and before descending from the Mimbar 14 times,
and this is not Sunnat in Jummah. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg.782/783]
Law: In the Khutbah of Eid ul Fitr, the rules of
Sadqa-e-Fitr should be taught. They are five:
1. On whom it is Waajib.
2. Who is the recipient.
3. When should it be given.
4. How much it is.
5. And from what can it be given.
It is also appropriate for these rules to be explained in the
Jummah, which comes before the Eid, so that the people are aware of it in advance.
In the Khutbah of Eid ud Duha, the rules regarding Qurbani and the Takbeers of
Tashreeq should be explained. [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.783/784; Alamgiri vol.1
pg.150]
Law: If the Imam has already performed the (Eid)
Namaaz and someone was left behind, either because he did not join or he joined
but his Namaaz became void. In this case, if he can get to read it somewhere
else, he should do so. Otherwise, he cannot read it. It is better for this
person to perform 4 Raka’ats of Chasht Namaaz. [Durre-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.786]
Law: If one was not able to perform Eid Namaaz on
the day of Eid due to some Uzr (for example, because of very heavy rains, or
due to it being overcast the moon was not sighted and the testimony of sighting
was presented at a time when Namaaz (of Eid) cannot be performed. Or if it was
overcast and the Namaaz finished at a time when Zawaal had already commenced).
Then (in this case) it should be performed the next day, and if was not
performed on the next day as well, then the Namaaz of Eid ul Fitr cannot be
performed on the third day, and on the second day as well, the time for the
Namaaz is the same which was on the first day. In other words, from the time when
the sunrises (to the height) of a spears length, upto ‘Nisfun Nahaar Shari’. If
the Namaaz of Eid ul Fitr was left out on the first day without any valid reason,
it cannot be performed on the second day. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg.151/152;
Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.783]
Law: Eid ud Duha is the same as Eid ul Fitr in all
ruling. There is only a difference in regards to few issues. In it (Eid ud
Duha) it is Mustahab not to eat anything before Eid Namaaz, even if one is not performing
Qurbani, and if one does eat, there is no objection. To proclaim the Takbeer
aloud on the street when going to (Namaaz), and the Namaaz of Eid ud Duha can be
delayed due to a valid reason until the 12th (Zil Hijjah) without any
objection. It cannot be performed after the 12th, and to delay it after the
10th without a valid reason is Makruh. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg.152]
Law: If one intends to make Qurbani, then it is
Mustahab not to cut the hair or clip the nails from the 1st to the 10th of Zil
Hijjah. [Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.787]
Law: If on the day of Arafah, meaning on the 9th
of Zil Hijjah people get together at any place, like how the Hajis gather
together and make Waquf, and they engross themselves in Zikr and Dua, then the correct
(view), is that there is no harm in this, on condition that it is not regarded
as necessary or Waajib. If they have gathered together for some other reason,
such as to perform Namaaz-e-Istisqa, then without any difference it is
permissible and in actuality there is no harm in this. [Durr-e-Mukhtar; Shaami
vol.1 pg.784]
Law: It is good for Muslims to shake hands and
embrace each other after the Eid Namaaz as is the general practice of the
Muslims, as this is showing of happiness. [Wishah Al Majeed; Fatawa Razvia]
Takbeer-e-Tashreeq
Law: From the Fajr of the 9th of Zil Hijjah upto
the Asr of the 13th of Zil Hijjah it is Waajib to proclaim he Takbeer aloud
after the Fard Namaaz, which has been performed with the desired Jama’at. To proclaim
it thrice is Afdal (more virtuous). This is known as the ‘Takbeer-e-Tashreeq’.
It is as follows:
اَللہُ اَکْبَرْ اَللہُ اَکْبَرْ لَآ اِلٰـہَ اِلَّا اللہُ وَاللہُ
اَکْبَرْ اَللہُ اَکْبَرْ وَلِلّٰہِ الْحَمْدُ ؕ
[Tanweerul Absaar vol.1 pg.787]
Law: To proclaim the Takbeer-e-Tashreeq
immediately following the Salaam is Waajib, in other words until such time that
one has not done anything which will not allow you to make ‘Bina’ on that Namaaz.
If one left the Musjid or intentionally broke his Wudu, or if he spoke, even if
it was by error, the Takbeer falls off, and if the Wudu broke unintentionally,
then he may say the Takbeers. [Durr-e-Mukhtar, Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.786]
Law: Takbeer-e-Tashreeq is Waajib upon the person
who is Muqeem (resident) in a city, or the one who followed him (in Namaaz),
even if it may be a female, a Musafir or one who lives in a village. If they do
not follow him (in Namaaz), then it is not Waajib upon them. [Durre-Mukhtar;
Shaami vol.1 pg.786]
Law: The one performing Nafil made Iqtida of one
who is performing Fard, and then to follow the Imam is also Waajib upon that
Muqtadi, even though he did not perform Fard with the Imam. If a Muqeem made
Iqtida of a Musafir, it is Waajib upon the Muqeem, even though it is not Waajib
upon the Musafir. [Durr-e-Mukhtar, Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.786]
Law: Takbeer-e-Tashreeq is not Waajib upon a
Ghulaam (slave), and it is not Waajib upon a female, even if she performed her
Namaaz in Jama’at. If a female read behind a male and the Imam made Niyyat to be
her Imam, then it also becomes Waajib upon the female, but she should say it
softly. Similarly, it is also not Waajib upon those who read Namaaz without
clothing, even though they performed Jama’at, as their Jama’at is not ‘Jama’at-e-Mustahaba’
(The recommended Jama’at). [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.786]
Law: The Takbeer is not Waajib after Nafils,
Sunnats or Witr. It is Waajib after Jummah, and it should also be proclaimed
after Eid Namaaz. [Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.786]
Law: The Takbeer is Waajib upon a Masbooq and
Laahaq, but they should only proclaim it after they turn their Salaam. If they
said it with the Imam, the Namaaz has not been annulled, and there is no need
to repeat the Takbeer after completing the Namaaz as well. [Durr-e-Mukhtar,
Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.787]
Law: If Namaaz became Qaza on some other day and
one read the Qaza on the Days of Tashreeq, then the Takbeers are not Waajib
(for these). Similarly, if the Salaahs of those days (of Tashreeq) became Qaza
and one read them on some other day, it will still not be Waajib (to proclaim
the Takbeers). Likewise, if the Qaza Salaahs of the Days of Tashreeq last year
were performed on the Days of Tashreeq in the current year, it is still not Waajib
(to proclaim the Takbeers). However, if the Qaza Namaaz of the Days of Tashreeq
for that year are performed on the days of Tashreeq in the current year with Jama’at,
then it becomes Waajib (to proclaim the Takbeers). [Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.786]
Law: The Takbeer is not Waajib upon the Munfarid
(one who reads alone). [Jauhira Nayyira]. However, the Munfarid should also proclaim
it, because according to the Saahibayn it is also Waajib upon him.
Law: If the Imam did not proclaim the Takbeer (of
Tashreeq), it is still Waajib upon the Muqtadi to proclaim it, even though the Muqtadi
is a Musafir, a female, or a villager. [Durr-e-Mukhtar, Raddul Muhtar vol.1
pg.787]
Law: If the general public (ordinary people)
proclaim the Takbeer aloud in the marketplaces during these days (Of Tashreeq),
they should not be stopped. [Durr-e-Mukhtar vol.1 pg.787]
