Assalamu alikum WRWB
Dear Community Members
I would like to give you more updates how to perform Eid-ul- Fitr salah in addition to my last night email based on Madhab. Such as follows:
· Eid Salat consists of two Rakats and six Takbirs according to Hanafi Madhab ( 3 Takbir in the first Rakat and 3 Takbir in the second Rakat)
· Eid Salat consists of two Rakats and 12 Takbirs according to Shafi Madhab ( 7 Takbir in the first Rakat and 5Takbir in the second Rakat)
· Eid Salat consists of two Rakats and 11 Takbirs according to Maliki and Hanbali ( 6 Takbir in the first Rakat and 5Takbir in the second Rakat)
Different Scholars give their opinion regarding the importance of the Salat ( Prayer) differently:
· Salat at Eid is Wajib (necessary/mandatory) according to Hanafi Scholars
· Sunnah Al- Mu’kkadah according to Maliki and Sha’fi Scholars and
· Fard according to Hanbali Scholars
NIYYAH:
We can do in Arabic or in English.
First, we will make the Niyyah (intention) which is in English: “ I intend to do two Rakat behind the Imam for Eid ul Fitr prayer along with six or 12 or 11 additional Takbirs”. Pls do additional Takbir based on the Madhab.
We do respect them all. I hope this might help you in performing Eid Salah. Pls consult any one of our local scholars for more clarification and better understanding.
I wish you all “HAPPY EID MUBARAK “ on behalf of Al Falah Muslim Association Inc
May Allah SWT shower more mercy to overcome all the calamities with lots of patience.
Jazakumullahu Khairan.
