Eid-ul-Fitr coincides with Friday

After Eid namaaz & Khudbah (on Friday) the sheikh at my masjid weighed in with his opinion on this - while recognising that the topic has many different views, he was opined that
-when Eid falls on Friday an individual who comes for Eid prayers is not obligated to come to the masjid for Jummah but can do Zuhr at home instead
-BUT Jummah is obligatory for the community.

Meaning that as long as some people from the community come and do Jummah, then others can do Zuhr at home.

To clarify according to the references above actually only those people who attended Eid jama may do this … Those who missed Eid jama, would still be required to attend Jumu’a which means in practical terms for the community Jum’ua prayer can not be forsaken by a masajid … Just in case there are some members who didn’t make it for Eid. Note: Eid is Fard-kifaya and Jum’ua is fard. What this ruling is saying in practice is that only for those who prayed Eid can treat Jum’ua as a fard kifaya. So the imam must make it clear for the sake of those who didn’t make it for Eid and decide to pray dhuhr at home that it would be sinful to do this, knowing that Jum’ua is being done in the masjid.
