How to Pray Eid al-Fitr Salah at Home under lockdown


The scholars have different opinions on whether we should perform the Eid prayer at home. Some take the view that there is no Eid prayer at home. Others say you can pray at home; some say individually, and some that the household can pray together led by the head of the household.

There is no sermon if praying at home, but we can give each other good advice and Islamic reminders.
How to perform the Eid prayer

If you do decide to pray at home, then this is a reminder on how to perform the prayer. There are two rak‘ahs, each with extra Takbirs; the number and timing depends on which school of thought you follow:

Hanafi: in the first rak‘ah, after the opening Takbir and before you recite Al-Fatihah, there are 3 extra takbirs; in the second rak‘ah, before ruku‘ there are also 3 extra takbirs, followed by the takbir for ruku‘. This is the way we perform the Eid prayer at the East London Mosque (as the majority of our congregation follow the Hanafi school of thought).


Others: in the first rak‘ah, after the opening Takbir and before you recite Al-Fatihah, there are 7 extra takbirs; in the second rak‘ah, at the start after the Takbir for standing up and before you recite Al-Fatihah, there are 5 extra takbirs.
