What should be done if Eid coincides with Friday

If Eid al-Fitr coincides with Friday, is it permissible for me to pray
the Eid prayer and not to pray Jumu'ah or vice versa?
Praise be to Allaah.
If the day of Eid coincides with Friday, then whoever prays Eid with
the imaam does nothave to attend Jumu'ah (it is not obligatory on
him); in his case it becomes Sunnah. If he does not pray Jumu'ah, he
has to pray Zuhr. This is in the case of people other than the imaam.
Asfor the imaam, he has to be present for Jumu'ah and lead those
Muslims who attend the prayer. The Jumu'ah prayer should not be
forsaken completely on this day.
