It is reported that Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) was in the Masjid when a woman from the people of Muzainah, who had adorned herself, came into the Masjid. Upon this, Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) said:

“O people, prevent your women from wearing attractive garments and walking proudly in the Masjid, since the people of Bani Isra’eel were cursed because of this very action of their women.”

(Ibn Majah)

Imam Tirmidhi (RA) has recorded the narration of Ummu ‘Atiyyah (RA) in his famous collection of Hadith. She (RA) says:

“We were ordered to go out with the single and menstruating women to the two Eids…”

After quoting the statement of Ummu ‘Atiyyah (RA), Imam Tirmidhi (RA) quotes the statement of the great Muhaddith, Abdullah bin Mubarak (RA), who said:

“I believe that in these times it is makrooh for women to go for the Eid Salaah to the Musalla. If a woman insists on going, her husband should permit her to go in old clothes, and she should not adorn herself. If she does not agree to this, he must prevent her…”

It is also reported from Sufyan Thawri (RA) that he regarded it as makrooh for women to go to the Eid Salaah in these times.

(Jami‘ Tirmidhi)

🔸 Going to Eid Salah by One Route and Returning by Another

Most of the people of knowledge are of the opinion that it is preferred for a person to go to the Salah by one route and then return home through another route, regardless of whether he is the Imam or a member of the congregation.

Jabir (RA) reports:

“On the days of ‘Eid, the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) would take different routes.”

This is related by Al-Bukhari.

Abu Hurairah (RA) says:

“When the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) went to Salatul ‘Eid, he would return through a different route.”

This is related by Ahmad, Muslim, and At-Tirmidhi.

Note: It is permissible to return through the same route by which one goes to the Musalla.

Bakr ibn Mubashir says:

“I used to go with the companions of the Prophet to the Musalla on ‘Eid-ul-Adha and on ‘Eid-ul-Fitr, and we passed through a specific valley in Madinah until we came to the place of Salah and prayed with the Messenger of Allah. Then we would return to our houses through the same valley.”

This is related by Abu Dawud and Al-Hakim, and by Al-Bukhari in his At-Tarikh. Ibn As-Sakin says that its chain is acceptable.

🔸 There Is No Adhan or Iqamah for Eid Salah

Ibn Al-Qayyim (RA) writes:

“When the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) went to the Musalla (place of prayer), he would perform the Salah without any Adhan or Iqamah and without saying ‘As-Salatu Jami‘ah’ (prayer in congregation). The Sunnah is not to do any of that.”

Ibn ‘Abbas (RA) and Jabir (RA) both report that there was no Adhan on the day of the breaking of the fast or on the day of sacrifice.

(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Muslim records that ‘Ata (RA) said:

“Jabir (RA) informed me that there is no Adhan for the ‘Eid of breaking the fast, neither when the Imam arrives nor afterwards. And there is no Iqamah or call of any kind.”

Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqas (RA) reports:

“The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) prayed Salatul ‘Eid without any Adhan or Iqamah. He would deliver two Khutbahs standing and would separate them by sitting between them.”

(Al-Bazzar)

🔸 There Is No Salah Before or After the Eid Salah

Ibn ‘Abbas (RA) reports:

“The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) went out to the site of the ‘Eid prayer and prayed two Rak‘ahs [i.e., the ‘Eid prayer] without praying anything before or after it.”

(The Group)

It is reported that Ibn ‘Umar (RA) did the same, and he stated that this was the practice of the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam).

Al-Bukhari records that Ibn ‘Abbas (RA) disliked that one should perform a prayer before Salatul ‘Eid.

Concerning voluntary prayers at such a time, Ibn Hajar (RA) has stated in Fath al-Bari that there is no evidence to show that it is not allowed, unless it is at the times in which it is disliked to pray on any day.

🔸 Eid Salah Consists of Two Rak‘ahs

Umar (RA) reported:

“The traveller’s prayer is two Rak‘ahs, the Adha prayer is two Rak‘ahs, the Fitr prayer (the prayer of Eid-ul-Fitr) is two Rak‘ahs, the Adha prayer is two Rak‘ahs, and this is their full length as came upon the tongue of Muhammad (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam).”

(Ahmad, An-Nasa’i)

🔸 There Are Six Additional Takbeers in Eid Salah

Hazrat Abu Musa Al-Ash‘ari (RA) was asked regarding the number of Takbeers that Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) used to say in both Eid Salaahs. He replied:

“He (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam) used to say four Takbeers in every Rak‘ah, in the same way as he used to say the Takbeers in Salatul-Janaazah.”

Hazrat Hudhaifah (RA) also confirmed this practice of Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam).

(Abu Dawud, Hadith No. 1153)

End of Today’s Education.

Subhanakallahumma wa bihamdik, ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illaa Anta, astaghfiruka wa atuubu ilayk.

After several references to our reliable books of Sunnah, the issue of seeing whiteness, grass, plants, paper, milk, etc. in a dream, as indicated in our Episode 14 on Page 6 after performing Istikhaarah, has no basis in Islam.

What we should look forward to is that Allah will ease the better choice for us.

We shall conclude this topic tomorrow, in shaa Allah.

May HE strengthen us and make us steadfast in faith. May HE accept our ‘ibaadah and grant us goodness in this world and the Hereafter.

May Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla forgive us and grant us Jannah.

AAMEEN.
