[Ruling if the day of Eid coincides with the day of Jumuah] - | Hanbalī Madhab (English).

[Ruling if the day of Eid coincides with the day of Jumuah]

- If the day of eid coincides with the day of jumuah, it's permissible to suffice with just the eid prayer.

- It is recommended to attend both the eid prayer and the Jumuah prayer.

-Whoever misses the eid prayer and only catches the Eid khutbah must attend the Jumuah prayer.

- The Zuhur prayer in congregation is still obligatory. If there is no congregation at his location he can pray individually.

- This ruling does not include the Imām. The Imām must establish the Jumuah prayer in the masjid regardless. So if 40 people are present he should give the khutbah and if the number of attendees is less than 40 he should pray Zuhur in congregation.

- The concession of the one not attending the Jumuah prayer is like the concession of the sick person. It's not obligatory for them to attend the Jumuah prayer but if they are present in the masjid at the time of the khutbah, it becomes obligatory for them to pray the Jumuah prayer.

- Evidence: Narrated Abū Hurayrah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Two festivals ('Eid and Friday) have synchronised on this day. If anyone does not want to offer the Friday prayer, the Eid prayer is sufficient for him. But we shall offer the Friday prayer.

(Abu Dawūd 1073)

- This opinion is specific to the Hanbalī Madhab and it is the opinion of many of the great Sahābah such as Umar, Uthmān and Alī (may Allāh be pleased with them all).
