What
to do if Someone Misses the Whole Jamaat?
If someone missed the whole Jamā'at
of Eid-Ṣalāh, whether he couldn't join Jamā'at at all or his Ṣalāh became
invalid due to any reason after joining, then if possible, he should join
Jamā'at elsewhere; otherwise he cannot offer it (without Jamā'at). However, it
is preferable for him to offer four Rak'āt of Chāsht Ṣalāh.
(Durr-e-Mukhtār, V3,
P67)
Rulings
for the Khuṭbaĥ (Sermon) of Eid
After the Eid Ṣalāh, the Imām should
deliver two Sermons. The acts that are Sunnaĥ for the Jumu'aĥ Sermon are also
Sunnaĥ for the Eid Sermon; likewise, the acts that are Makrūĥ for the Jumu'aĥ
Sermon are also Makrūĥ for the Eid Sermon. There are only two differences
between both the Sermons. Firstly, it is a Sunnaĥ for the Imām not to sit
before the first Sermon of Eid Ṣalāh whereas Imām's sitting before first Sermon
of Jumu'aĥ is a Sunnaĥ. Secondly, in the Eid Sermon, it is a Sunnaĥ for the
Imām to recite اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَر nine times before the
first Sermon, seven times before the second Sermon and fourteen times before
coming down from the pulpit while uttering these Takbīrāt is not Sunnaĥ for
Jumu'aĥ Sermon.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, V1,
P783; Durr-e-Mukhtār, V3, P67; 'Alamgīrī, V1, P150)
Twenty
Sunnaĥ and Desirable Acts of Eid
Following acts are Mustaḥab on the
Eid Day:
1. Getting hair cut (Get your hair cut
according to Sunnaĥ, not according to the English styles).
2. Cutting Nails.
3. Having a bath.
4. Using Miswāk (This is in addition to
the one used during Wuḍū).
5. Wearing nice clothes, either new or
washed ones.
6. To apply perfume.
7. Wearing a ring (Islamic brothers are
allowed to wear only one silver ring which weighs less than 4.5 Masha. There
must be only one gem in the ring; they shouldn't wear the ring without a gem
either; there is no limit for the weight of the gem. They are not allowed to
wear more than one ring. Men cannot wear the ring made of any other metal
except silver with the afore-mentioned conditions)
8. Offering Ṣalā-tul-Fajr in the Masjid
of one's locality.
9. Before going to Eid-ul-Fiṭr Ṣalāh,
eating some dates in odd numbers such as 3, 5, 7 etc. If dates are not
available, then eat something sweet. If nothing is eaten before the Ṣalāh,
there will be no sin, but if nothing is eaten till Ṣalā-tul-'Ishā, he will be
rebuked.
10. Performing the Eid Ṣalāh at a place
that is designated for performing the Eid Ṣalāh (Eid-Gāĥ).
Let me know if you'd like the
remaining sections transcribed as well, or if you'd like this compiled into a
document.
11. Going to the Eid-Gāĥ on foot.
12. Although there is no harm in using
conveyance, walking on foot is better for those who can do so; there is no harm
at all in returning by conveyance.
13. Going to the Eid-Gāĥ from one path
and returning from the other path.
14. Paying the Ṣadaqa-e-Fiṭr before the
Eid Ṣalāh (this is better, but if you couldn't pay it before the Eid Ṣalāh, pay
it after the Ṣalāh).
15. Expressing happiness.
16. Donating Ṣadaqaĥ in abundance.
17. Heading towards the Eid Gāĥ (Ṣalāh
area) calmly, in a dignified manner, with lowered gaze.
18. Congratulating each other.
19. Shaking hands and embracing one
another after the Eid Ṣalāh as Muslims usually do; it is a good act because it
expresses happiness. However, embracing a young attractive boy may lead to
allegation.
20. Utter the following Takbīr in low
voice while on your way to the Eid-Gāĥ to offer Eid-ul-Fiṭr Ṣalāh and utter it
loudly while heading for the Eid-Gāĥ to offer Eid-ul-Aḍḥā Ṣalāh.
اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَرْ اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَرْ لَآ
اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللّٰہُ وَاللّٰہُ اَکْبَرْ اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَرْ وَلِلّٰہِ الْحَمْد
Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ is the greatest.
Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ is the greatest.
There is none worthy of worship except Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ
and Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ is the greatest.
Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ is the Greatest and
all the praise is for Allāĥ.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at,
vol. 1, pp. 779; 'Alamgīrī, vol. 1, pp. 149, 150, etc.)
A
Mustaḥab Act for Eid-ul-Aḍḥā Ṣalāĥ
In most cases, there are the same
rulings for Eid-ul-Aḍḥā as for Eid-ul-Fiṭr. However, there are a few
differences; for example, it is Mustaḥab not to eat anything before the Eid
Ṣalāh on Eid-ul-Aḍḥā regardless of whether or not one is performing the sacrifice
(of cattle), but if one eats something, still there is no harm.
('Alamgīrī, vol. 1,
pp. 152)
Eight
Madanī Pearls for Takbīr-e-Tashrīq
1. The Takbīr اَللّٰہُ
اَکْبَرْ اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَرْ لَآ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللّٰہُ وَاللّٰہُ اَکْبَرْ
اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَرْ وَلِلّٰہِ الْحَمْد is called Takbīr-e-Tashrīq. Uttering this
Takbīr once loudly is Wājib whereas uttering it thrice is preferable after all
Farḍ Ṣalāh that were offered with the primary Jamā'at of the Masjid from the
Fajr Ṣalāh of 9th to the 'Aṣr Ṣalāh of 13th Żil-Ḥajja-tul-Ḥarām.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at,
vol. 1, pp. 779 to 780; Tanvīr-ul-Abṣār, vol. 3, pp. 71)
2. It is Wājib to utter
Takbīr-e-Tashrīq immediately after performing the Salām. However, one may utter
the Takbīr as long as he has not done any such act that negates the Binā
(resumption, rejoining) of Ṣalāh. For instance, if someone exited the Masjid or
invalidated his Wuḍū deliberately or engaged in talking, though forgetfully,
Takbīr would no longer remain Wājib for him in all these cases. However, if his
Wuḍū became invalid unintentionally, he should utter the Takbīr.
(Durr-e-Mukhtār &
Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 3, pp. 73)
3. Takbīr-e-Tashrīq is Wājib for the
one residing in a city or the Muqtadī following a resident Imām in Ṣalāh even
if the Muqtadī (the one following the Imām in Ṣalāh) is a traveller or a
villager; however, if travellers and villagers do not follow a resident Imām in
Ṣalāh, Takbīr is not Wājib for them.
(Durr-e-Mukhtār, V3,
P74)
4. If a resident offered Ṣalāh under
the Iqtidā of a traveller, Takbīr will be Wājib for the resident, but not for
the traveller Imām.
(Durr-e-Mukhtār &
Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 3, pp. 73)
5. It is not Wājib to utter Takbīr
after Nafl, Sunnaĥ and Witr Ṣalāh.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at,
vol. 1, pp. 785; Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 3, pp. 73)
6. It is Wājib to utter Takbīr after
Salā-tul-Jumu'aĥ; one should utter it after the Ṣalāh of Eid-ul-Aḍḥā as well.
(ibid)
7. Takbīr is Wājib for the Masbūq (the
one missing one or more Rak'āt), but he is to utter it having performed his own
Salām (after offering his missed Rak'āt).
(Rad-dul-Muḥtār, V3,
P76)
8. Takbīr is not Wājib for the Munfarid
(the one offering Ṣalāh individually).
(Ghuniya-tul-Mustamlī,
pp. 526, Religious book house)
However,
he should also utter it as, according to Ṣaḥibaīn, Takbīr is Wājib even for the
Munfarid.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, V1,
P786)

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صَلَّى
اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبِيْب صَلَّى اللّٰہ
تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
