Eid On Friday And Option To Offer Any One Salah In Mosque
Regarding first point , there are differences of opinion whether Fridays Salah is also mandatory for someone who has already offered the Eid Salah. I will seek Hassan Sahab’s point in this regard. Ali Al-Hakami, a member of the Supreme Council of Scholars (KSA), issued a fatwa stating that Muslims are not required to perform both Eid and Friday prayers and that performing only Eid prayer is enough. According to Al-Hakami, a fatwa states that if Eid falls on a Friday and one has performed the Eid prayer, there is no obligation to perform the Friday prayer and that it is favorable to perform both. Qais Al-Mubarak, another member of the Supreme Council, said there are differences among scholars worldwide in the interpretation of the Hadith (Prophet’s sayings) on the issue. It may be noted that Imam Ahmed holds the view that one must perform the Eid prayer as well as the noon (Duhr) prayer, but is not required to perform the Friday prayer in mosque. Some scholars argue that Muslims are required to perform both Eid and Friday prayers, with the exception of those who live in remote areas.
