Re: Eid-ul-Fitr coincides with Friday
Peace All,
for your valuable comments. Yes, scholars are differed as well as Schools of thoughts too but the most important point is that none of them rejected it nor said that one should or shouldnât do like this or that. However, it is said that if one wish to do this way or another way (as per his/her convenient) may do so. More interesting the Imaam must lead both Salaath (Eid and Jumma) as Imam is not exempted to skip Jumma Salaath due to Eid Salaath.
Here are few hadiths which I would like to share with you all. 
**Book âPrayer (Kitab Al-Salat): Details of Commencing Prayerâ of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Hadith No. 1065. **
Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: Ilyas ibn AbuRamlah ash-Shami said: I witnessed Muâawiyah ibn AbuSufyan asking Zayd ibn Arqam: Did you offer along with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) the Friday and 'Id prayers synchronized on the same day? He said: Yes. He asked: How did he do? He replied: He offered the 'Id prayer, then granted concession to offer the Friday prayer, and said: If anyone wants to offer it, he may offer.
Hadith No. 1066
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Ataâ ibn AbuRabah said: Ibn az-Zubayr led us in the 'Id prayer on Friday early in the morning. When we went to offer the Friday, he did not come out to us. So we prayed ourselves alone. At that time Ibn Abbas was present in at-Taâif. When he came to us, we mentioned this (incident) to him. He said: He followed the sunnah.
Hadith No. 1068
Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Two festivals ('Id and Friday) have synchronized on this day. If anyone does not want to offer the Friday prayer, the 'Id prayer is sufficient for him. But we shall offer the Friday prayer.

Purpose of opening this thread and sharing this information is to educated ourselves rather then labeling one another with this and that groups, sects, followers, un-followers, muqalids, ghair-muqalid etc., which will not lead us anywhere except creating more hatred among us.
By reading the hadiths and various rulings of Scholars, we understood that there is concession if one wish to skip Jumma Salaath if it is coincident with Eid Salaath (day). However, he/she must offer Dhuhar Salaath instead, and his/her Jumma Salaath (if offered) will be counted as âSunnahâ.
As for me, it is like revival of Sunnah and a beneficial thing to learn and share with others.
May Almighty Allah increase our knowledge of learning and understanding Deen. Ameen.
