only addition of six takbirs, three of them in the beginning of the
first rak'ah, and three of them just before ruku' in the second
rak'ah. The detailedway of performing the 'Eidprayer is as follows:
The Imam will begin the prayer without Adhan or Iqamah. He will begin
the prayer by reciting takbir ofTahrimah (Allahu Akbar). You should
raise your hands up to the ears, and reciting the takbir, you give a
little pause during which you should recite Thana' (Subhanak
Allahumma.......)· After the completion of Thana' the Imam will recite
takbir (Allahu Akbar) three times, and after reciting each Takbir
(Allahu Akbar) in a low voice, you should bring your hands down and
leave them earthwards. But, after the third takbir, you should setthem
at the level of your navel as you do in the normal prayer.
After these three takbirs the Imam will recite the Holy Qur'an, which
you should listen quietly. The rest of the rak'ah will be performed in
the normal way.
After rising for the second rak'ah, the Imam will begin the
recitations from the Qur'an during which you should remain calm and
quiet. When the Imamfinishes his recitation, he will recite three
takbirs once again, but this time itwill be before bowing down for
ruku'. At each takbir you should raise your hands up to the ears, and
after saying "Allahu Akbar' bring them down and leave them earthwards.
After these three takbirs have been called and completed, the Imam
will say another takbir for bowing down into the ruku' position. At
this takbir you need not raise your hands. You just bow down for your
ruku' saying, 'Allahu Akbar'. The rest of the Salah will be performed
in its usual way.
Khutbah: The Address of 'Eid-ul-fitr:
In this Salah, Khutbah is a Sunnah and is delivered after the Salah,
unlike the Salah of Jumu'ah where it is Fard and is delivered before
the Salah. However,listening to the Khutbah of'Eid Salah is wajib or
necessary and must be heard in perfect peace and silence.
It is a sunnah that the Imam begins the first Khutba by reciting
takbirs 'Allahu Akbar' nine times and the second Khutbah with reciting
it seven times.
Note: The way of 'Eid prayer described above is according to the
Hanafi school of Muslim jurists. Some other jurists, like Imam
Shafi'i, have some other ways to perform it. They recite Takbir twelve
times before beginning the recitations from the Holy Qur'an in both
rak'ah. This way is also permissible. If the Imam, being of the
Shafi'i school, follows this way, you can also follow him. Both
waysare based on the practice of the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa
sallam.
