What to do if you miss Eid Salah

Question: Is this information correct? When Eid falls onFriday then it is not compulsory to do Friday Jum’a, instead one can just perform Zuhr. Answer: This claim is totally baseless. Jum’a is compulsory upon every male, adult non-travelling Muslim, irrespective of whether the same day is Eid or not. In fact, it is a day of extra virtue because Muslims will be celebrating two Eids, Eid al-Adha and Jum’a, whichhas also been described as an Eid by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). In Hanafi Fiqh, Eid Salah is Wajib (proven by the Sunna) whereas Jum'a is Fard (proven by the Quran). So if anything, Jum'a is more important that Eid.
