Sometimes they say, "Salaat al-'Eid athaabakum Allaah (Eid prayer, may
Allaah reward you)" before the prayer. What should onedo if they
persist in doing these things? Should he pray at home?May Allaah
reward you.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
The fuqaha' are unanimously agreed that it is not prescribed to give
the adhaan or iqaamah before Eid prayer.
In Saheeh Muslim (886) itsays that Ibn Jurayj said: 'Ata' told me that
that Ibn 'Abbaas and Jaabir ibn 'Abd-Allaah al-Ansaari said: There was
no adhaan on the day of al-Fitr or al-Adha.
Ibn Jurayj said: I asked him [i.e., 'Ata'] about that later on and he
said:Jaabir ibn 'Abd-Allaah al-Ansaari told me that there was no call
to prayer on the day of al-Fitr, either before the imam came out or
afterwards, and there was no adhaan or call oranything; no call to
prayer and no iqaamah.
They differed concerning calling people to prayer with other words,
such as saying "Al-Salaatu jaami'ah (prayer is about to begin)" or
"Salaat al-'Eid athaabakum Allaah (Eid prayer may Allaah have mercy on
you)" and so on. There are two opinions:
1 –
That it is not allowed. They said: They should not give any call, and
they should not say "Al-Salaatu jaami'ah" or anything else. This is
oneof the two views in the Maaliki and Hanbali madhhab.
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
It was narrated that 'Ata'said: Jaabir told me that there is no adhaan
on the day of al-Fitr until the imam comes out, and (no adhaan) after
the imam has come out, and no iqaamah, and no call, and nothing. There
was no call on that day and no iqaamah. Narrated by Muslim.
Some of our companionssaid: It may be called outfor it "Al-Salaatu
jaami'ah". This is the view of al-Shaafa'i. But the Sunnah of the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is
more deserving of beingfollowed. End quote.
Al-Mughni (2/117).
Al-Hattaab al-Maaliki (may Allaah have mercy on him)said:
And it should not be called out "Al-Salaatu jaami'ah". Ibn Naaji said
in his commentary on the essay that we received from our Shaykh:
Phrases such as this are an innovation (bid'ah) because they are not
narrated (from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him)). End quote.
Shaykh Yoosuf ibn 'Umarsaid: There is nothing wrong with saying
"Al-Salaatu jaami'ah" even if it is an innovation.
In al-Tawdeeh, al-Shaamil and al-Jazooliit says that it may be called
out "Al-Salaatu jaami'ah". End quote.
Mawaahib al-Jaleel Sharh Mukhtasar Khaleel(2/191).
Ibn 'Aleesh al-Maaliki (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The call should not be made by saying things like "Al-Salaatu
jaami'ah" because it is makrooh, or it is contrary to what is
moreappropriate, because no report was narrated concerning that. It is
clearly stated that it is makrooh in al-Tawdeeh, al-Shaamil and
al-Jazooli.
Ibn Naaji, Ibn 'Umar and others clearly stated thatit is an innovation (bid'ah).
What al-Kharashi said about it being permissible is not correct, and
what he quoted of ahaadeeth concerning that is to be rejected, because
it was not narrated concerningEid; rather it was narrated concerning
the eclipse prayer, as it says in al-Tawdeeh, al-Mawaaq and other
books, quoting from al-Ikmaal.
Drawing an analogy between the Eid prayer and the eclipse prayer is
invalid because Eid is repeated and well known, whereas the eclipse
prayer is done rarely.
Yes, at the beginning of the chapter on the adhaan in al-Mawaaq it is
narrated that 'Ayaad liked the idea that for every prayer for which
there is no adhaan it may be said "Al-Salaatu jaami'ah", but the
author did not comment on that. End quote.
Minah al-Jaleel Sharh Mukhtasar Khaleel (1/460)
In Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah it says:
When the imam stands up to offer the Eid prayer, he should start with
takbeerat al-ihraam, and he shouldnot say to the people beforehand "al
Al-Salaatu jaami'ah" or "salaat al-'eid" or any other phrase, because
there is no report which indicates that. Rather the words "Al-Salaatu
jaami'ah" are to be called out in the case of the eclipse prayer,
whether for a solar or lunar eclipse. End quote.
(8/314).
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Some of the scholars said: This is our view, that it may be called out
for istisqa' (prayers for rain) and for Eid prayer, "Al-Salaatu
jaami'ah". But this view is not correct, and it is not valid to make
an analogy with the eclipse prayer for two reasons:
(i) That eclipses happen suddenly, especially in
earlier times when people would be unaware of them until they
happened.
(ii) The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) did not give a call for prayers for rain or Eid prayers. In every
case where there could have been a reason for doing something at the
time ofthe Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he
did not do it, doing it is an innovation, because there was nothing to
prevent the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) from
giving call. If a call may be given for this prayer, he would have
ordered the caller to give the call for it.
So the correct view is that there is no call for the Eid prayers and
prayers for rain. End quote.
Al-Sharh al-Mumti' (5/199).
This is the view favouredby Shaykh al-Sa'di (may Allaah have mercy on
him) as it says in al-Mukhtaaraat al-Jaliyyah (p. 53).
This view was previouslychosen, and was supported by comments from the
scholars in the answer to question no. 48972 .
2 –
That it is prescribed to call for them by saying "Al-Salaatu jaami'ah"
or "Al-salaah, yarhamukum Allaah (The prayer, may Allaah have mercy on
you)" and other words which signal that the prayer is about to begin.
This is the view of the Hanafis as it says in al-'Inaayah Sharh
al-Hidaayah (1/242), andit is the view of the Shaafa'is, and the
correct view according to the Hanbalis and the Zaahiri madhhab, as it
says in al-Muhalla (2/178).
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Al-Shaafa'i and his companions said: It is mustahabb to say
"Al-Salaatu jaami'ah" because of what we have mentioned about the
analogy with the eclipse prayer. Al-Shaafa'i said in al-Umm: I prefer
for the imam to tell the muezzinto say on Eids and other occasions
when people gather to pray: "Al-Salaatu jaami'ah" or "al-salaah", If
he says "halumm ila al-salaah (come to prayer)" we do not regard that
as makrooh, and if he says "hayya 'ala al-salaah (come to prayer – the
phrase used in the adhaan)" there is nothing wrong with it, although I
would prefer to avoid that because these are the words of the adhaan,
and I prefer to avoid all the words of the adhaan. End quote.
Al-Majmoo' (5/20).
Al-Bahooti al-Hanbali (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
It should be called out for Eid or the eclipse prayer or prayer for
rain: "Al-Salaatu jaami'ah" or "al-salaah".
It says in al-Furoo': It should be called out for the eclipse prayer
because that is in al-Saheehayn, and for prayers for rain, and for Eid
prayer, "al-salaatu jaami'ah" or "al-salaah." And it was said that it
should not be called out.And it was said that it should not be called
out for Eid prayer, as is also the case of the funeral prayer and
Taraweeh according to the more sound opinion concerning them. Ibn
'Abbaas and Jaabir said: "No adhaan was given on the day of al-Fitr
when the imam came out, or after he came out, and no iqaamah, and no
call, and nothing." Agreed upon. End quote.
Kashshaaf al-Qinaa' (1/233). See also al-Insaaf (1/428). It says in
(2/459): This is our view and that of most of our companions.
The more correct view, as stated above, is the first one, which is
that no call should be given for the Eid prayer at all. But if that
happens, there is no sin on the one who is present, because this is an
opinion that carries weight among some fuqaha'. Such matters should
not be a cause of division or splitting among the worshippers,
especially nowadays. Rather if it is possible to advise the people in
charge in a gentle and goodly manner to do that which is proven in the
Sunnah, all well and good, otherwise he may attend the prayer with
them and there is no blame on him in sha Allaah. But we should point
out that the one who wants to teach others the Sunnah concerning that
or to tellthem what is correct, should do so before the people gather
for prayer. But once the people have gathered, itis difficult at that
point to offer advice calmly and in a useful manner, and there is no
guarantee that it will not lead to provoking enmity and division, or
things that are even worse than that.
We ask Allaah to help us and you to do and say that which He loves and
with which He is pleased, and to help us and you to avoid fitan
(trouble, tribulation), both outward and inward.
And Allaah knows best.
