Unreferenced date December 2009 Cleanup rewrite date February 2007 Islam The Eid prayer salatu l idayn was prescribed in the first year after the Hijra Islam hijra . It is Wajib strongly recommended and Muhammad always performed these prayers. Procedure The time for the Eid prayer begins from the time the sun is convert 3 m abbr on from the horizon until the sun reaches its meridian. Ahmad ibn Hassan al Bana records that Abu Dharr al Ghifari Jundub said The Prophet prayed the Eid ul Fitr Eid ul fitr prayer while the sun was approximately Convert 6 m above the horizon and the eid of the sacrifice while the sun was convert 3 m above the horizon. The Eid prayer consists of two Raka ah ra kat during which it is sunnah to pronounce the takbir seven times, after the opening takbir and before the Qur an ic recital in the first rak ah . During the second rak ah , one makes takbir five times after the takbir which is customarily made for standing after the prostration. One is to raise one s hands during each pronouncement of the takbir . This is based on a report transmitted from Umar and his son Abd Allah ibn Umar . The Hanafi school holds that in the first rak ah three takbirat are to be made after the opening takbir, but before the recital. The khutbah after salatul eid is not fardh but is sunnah and so is listening to it. Concerning the adhan and Iqama iqamah for salatul eidain Ibn al Qayyum writes When the Prophet went to the place of prayer, he would perform the Islamic Prayer salah without any adhan or iqamah and without saying the Jumu ah Friday congregational prayer .
