Eid Prayer.

• Its Ruling Three Opinions
• First Opinion It is a highly recommended sunnah
  prayer. (The choice of Malik and Shafie)
• Proof A Bedouin asked Allahs Messenger about
  his religious obligations, then when he (pbuh)
  mentioned the five daily prayers. The Bedouin
  said Is there any other obligatory prayer?. He
  (pbuh) replied No, unless you volunteer. (B/M)

• Second Opinion It is a communal obligation.
• Proof Umm Attiyah said We were commanded to
  go out for Eid prayer with the single and
  menstruating women to witness the good and the
  supplications of the Muslims. The menstruating
  women were ordered to stay away from the
  Mussalah. (B/M)
• Analysis The Prophet always performed them and
  he ordered people to got out to pray them.
• Second Proof Analogy They are similar to the
  other visible symbols of religion like athaan and
  Iqamah. These two are communal obligations.

5
Continued

• Third Opinion This prayer is an individual
  Obligation (Fard Ayain). (The choice of Abu
  Haneefa and Ibn Taymiyah.)
• Proof the same hadith of Umm Attiyah .
• Analysis It is an individual obligation, because
  if it was a communal obligation, then women
  should not be commanded to pray it, because men
  would have fulfilled this obligation. (Ibn
  Uthaimeen believes that this opinion is
  stronger.) Allah knows best.

6
Time and Place

• Its Time
• Abdullah ibn Busr , the companion of Allahs
  Messenger (pbuh) went out with the people on the
  day of Eid ul-Fitr or Eid ul-Adha, and was not
  happy about delaying the prayer, saying We
  would have left by this time. And that was at the
  early time of ad-Duha prayer. (Abu Dawood/Ibn
  Majah/others.)
• Note Ad-Duha prayer can be prayed 15min after
  sunrise.
• The time of this prayer ends when the sun reaches
  its meridian. (Zawaal Time).

7
Continued

• Place of Prayer
• Eid Prayer can be prayed in the Masjid, but it is
  preferred to do it out in the open, because the
  Prophet (pbuh) used to go out to pray it, and so
  did those who came after him.
• Note Eid Prayer has no athaan or Iqamah.

8
Description of the Prayer.

• Eid Prayer consists of two rakahs in which there
  are twelve takbeers.
• Proof Aisha reported that Allahs Messenger
  (pbuh) made the takbeer in al-Fitr and al-Adha
  seven times and five times, excluding the two
  takbeers of ruku.
• Note There are other numbers of takbeers
  attributed to several sahabis.
• We should raise our hands when reciting Takbeer.
  Umar and his son Abdullah used to do it in
  Janaza Prayer and Eid Prayer.

9
Continued

• Recitation of Dhikr after every Takbeera
• Some scholars said that we should say
• ???? ???? ????? ? ????? ??? ????? ? ????? ????
  ???? ? ????? ? ???? ???? ??? ???? ????? ? ??? ?
  ??? ?????? ?????.
• Proof Abdullah ibn Masoud used to do it and he
  used to advise people to do it.
• There is no proof that Allahs Messenger (pbuh)
  used to do it.

10
Continued

• The khutbah is After the Prayer.
• Ibn Abbas said I attended the Eid with the
  Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and with Abu Bakr Umar
  and Uthmaan, and they all used to pray before the
  khutbah. (B/M)
• The Recitation of Eid Prayer.
• Allahs Messenger recited al-Alah and
  al-Ghaashiyah. (M/others)
• He (pbuh) also used to recite Qaaf and al-Qamar.
  (M/others)

11
Sujood at-TilaawahProstration during Quran
Recitation

• Its Virtue
• Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah
  (pbuh) said When the son of Adam recites
  as-sajdah and then prostrates, shaytan departs
  from him and cries O, woe! He was ordered to
  prostrate and he did, so for him is paradise. I
  was ordered to prostrate and I refused, so for me
  is the Fire. (Muslim)

12
Continued

• Its Ruling Is it a Prayer or not?
• The majority of scholars believe that sujood
  at-tilawah is a prayer that requires some
  conditions to be accepted, like ritual purity,
  facing the qiblah and all the other conditions of
  Salah.
• A group of scholars believe that this sujood is
  not a prayer. It does not start with takbeer or
  ends with Tasleem. (This is the choice of Ibn
  Hazm and Ibn Taymiyah.) Therefore, it can be done
  without tahara and we do not have to face the
  qiblah.

13
Continued

• At times Ibn Umar would do sujood at-tilawah
  without having tahara. (Ibn Abee Shaybah with an
  authentic chain)
• Ibn Uthaiymeen believes that the second opinion
  is stronger.

14
continued

• Is it an obligation to perform sujood
  at-Tilawah? Two Opinions
• First it is an obligation to make this sujood
  (Abu Haneefa/Ibn Taymiyah/others.)
• Proofs Ayah O You who have believed, bow and
  prostrate and worship your Lord and do good- that
  you may succeed. (sajdah) 22/77
• Ayah And when the Quran is recited to them,
  they do not prostrate. (sajdah) 84/21

15
continued

• Second This sujood is not wajib, it is only
  recommended. (The three Imams.)
• Proofs Hadith Zayd ibn Thaabit recited surah
  an-Najm to the Prophet (pbuh) and did not perform
  sujood. (B)
• Analysis If sujood was wajib, the Prophet would
  not have kept quiet about Zayd missing the sujood.

16
Continued

• 2nd Proof Umar recited surah an-Nahl on the
  minbar. When he reached the verse of sujood, he
  went down, performed sujood and people did the
  same thing. Next Friday, he recited the same
  surah but he did not prostrate. He explained that
  Allah did not make it compulsory to prostrate
  unless we wish to do so. (B)
• Analysis Umar did not prostrate in front of a
  big group of sahaba and no one said anything
  which means that this sujood is not wajib.
• Conclusion The second opinion is very strong.

17
Notes

• 1- There are 14 places of sujood at-tilawah in
  the Quran.
• 2- The one who is listening to the reciter is
  supposed to make sujood with him, but not the one
  who hears him without intending to listen.
• 3- This sujood has no takbeer or tasleem except
  in the salah where we have to recite the takbir
  before and after. (One opinion in the Hanafi
  school of thought.)

18
What do we Say in this Sujood?

• The regular tasbeeh (????? ??? ??????)
• Second Option
• (?????? ????? ???? ? ?????? ????? ???? ??)
• Third Option
• (??? ???? ???? ???? ? ?? ???? ? ???? ????? ?
  ????)
• Which means My face is prostrated to the One
  Who created it and brought forth its hearing and
  its sight by His Might and Power. (Abu
  Dawood/Tirmithi/others)

19
Do we Recite Sajdah in a Silent Prayer?

• A group of scholars believe that it is Makrouh
  (disliked) to recite a surah that requires sujood
  at-tilawat in a silent prayer.
• The Second Opinion It is not disliked to recite
  it in a silent prayer, but if the Imam thinks
  that people will be confused about his sujood,
  then he should avoid making sujood. (This opinion
  is stronger).

20
Sujood ash-Shukr (The Prostration of
Gratefulness)

• It is preferred for Muslims to perform sujood,
  whenever they receive blessings, or they are
  saved from some trials, or they receive some good
  news. This is called Sujood ash-Shukr.
• Hadith When anything came to the Prophet (pbuh)
  which pleased him or he received good news, he
  would prostrate thanking Allah, The Most Blessed,
  The Most High. (Ibn Majah/Abu Dawood)

21
Notes.

• 1- Sujood ash-Shukr has the same rulings of
  Sujood at-Tilawah.
• 2- Sujood ash-Shukr can not be performed during
  the regular prayer.
• Allah Knows Best.
