Re: How To Offer Eid-ul-Fitr Namaaz
There are many versions depending which sect you follow. In USA I have found out that people do not have a sectarian preference , they go to the biggest Eid ijtima in their city and pray as the Imam tells them to. I do not have any sectarian preference either. I am a sect secular if there is some such term.

Re: How To Offer Eid-ul-Fitr Namaaz
Hanafai way is to do Namaz with 6 added takbeers. Eid namaz is 2 rakkats and here is how it goes.
First Rakat: When Imam said first takbeer, you raise you hands till your ear and drop them back (do not fold them as we do in regular namaz after takbeer). Imam is going to say takbeer again and you raise your hands till your ears and drop them back. Do it again 3rd time. When imam said the takbeer for the 4th time, you raise your hand and fold them. At that time, you will do sanaa and Imam is going to start Qirat. Rest of the rakat will end as any regular rakat. SO Rest of the rakat will end as any regular rakat
2nd Rakat: Imam will get up from the sajda of previous rakat and start the qirat. After the end of Qirat, he will say takbeer. Instead of going into ruku, you will raise you hands till your ear and drop them back. He will say takbeer 2 more times and you will do the same. When he would say it for the 4th time, you go to Ruku and rest of the rakat will end as any regular rakat. *Rest of the rakat will end as any regular rakat, but you dinsihed the 2nd one also with 3 additional Takbeer. *

tlk...in the first rakat, the thana is read right after the first Takbeer.
Re: How To Offer Eid-ul-Fitr Namaaz

Re: How To Offer Eid-ul-Fitr Namaaz

i believe when u raise ur hands first for the first takabeer, pause for a bit and read the thanna.
Re: How To Offer Eid-ul-Fitr Namaaz
^ you might be right. I will confirm and correct myself (although it does not matter much as we are muqtadis anyways so if I imam did that then my namaz is ok)
Re: How To Offer Eid-ul-Fitr Namaaz
Peace,
The schools differ concerning the prayers performed on the two festivals ('Ids), al-Fitr and al-'Adha, as to whether they are obligatory (wajib) or recommended (mustahabb). The Imamis and the Hanafis observe: It is wajib for every individual if the conditions mentioned in Friday prayer are fulfilled. If some or all of these conditions do not exist, there is no obligation in the opinion of the two schools, except that the Imamis add: In the absence of conditions necessary for its wujub, one can perform it as mustahabb either singly or in group prayer, during both journey and stay.
According to the Hanbalis it is fard kifa'i. The Shafi'is and the Malikis consider it a highly recommended practice (sunnah mu'akkadah).
In the opinion of the Imamis and the Shafi'is its time is from sunrise until the sun crosses the meridian. According to the Hanbalis, its time is from when the sun rises to the height of a spear until it crosses the meridian.
The Imamis say: Delivering of two sermons is wajib here as in the Friday prayer. The other schools consider it as mustahabb. All the schools concur that the sermons are to be delivered after the salat, as against the Friday prayer, in which they are delivered earlier.
According to the Imamis and the Shafi’is it can be validly per formed individually as well as in group prayer. The other schools consider perfoming in group is necessary for salat al-Eid.
As to the mode of its performance, it comprises two units (raka’ahs) performed differently by the various schools in the following manner:
According to The Hanafis:
**
First Rakat: Takbirat al-'ihram will be said after making theniyyah, followed by the praise of God. Then will follow three more takb’irahs, with an interval of silence equaling three takb’irahs, and it is also correct to say: “Subhana Allahi wa alhamdu lillahi wa la ilaha illa Allah wa Allahu Akbar”**. Then will follow the recital of Surat al-Fatihah, another surah, then ruku’ and sujud, in that order.
SecondRakat: will begin by reciting Surat al-Fatihah, which will be followed by another surah, three takb’irahs, ruku’ and sujud. After this the salat will be completed.
According to The Shafi’:
**First Rakat: **After saying the takbirat al-‘ihram, the Du’a’ al ‘Istiftah will be recited, followed by seven takbirahs, reciting after every two of them in a low voice: “Subhana Allahi wa alhamdu lillahi wa la ilaha illa Allah wa Allahu Akbar” ; then after ta’awwudh ( A’udhu billahi mina al-shaitani al-Rajeem), al-Fatihah and Surat Qaf will be recited, followed by ruku’ and sujud
**Second Rakat: **After standing up for the second rak’ah and saying a single takb’irah for it, five more takb’irahs will be added, reciting after every two of them: “Subhana Allahi wa alhamdu lillahi wa la ilaha illa Allah wa Allahu Akbar”. This will be followed by al-Fatihah and Surat Iqtarabat, and then the salat will be completed.
According to The Hanbalis:**
First Rakat:** The Du’a’ al-'Istiftah will be recited followed by six takbirahs reciting after every two of them in a low voice: “Allahu akbaruKabeera, wa alhamdu lillahi katheera, wa subhana allahi bukratan wa aseela, wa salla allahu ala Muhammadin wa alihi wa sallama tasleema”. This will be followed by ta’awwudh, basmalah, al-Faitihah and Surat Sabbihisma Rabbik. The rak’ah will be then completed.
**Second Rakat: **Upon standing up for the second rak’ah, five takbirahs, apart from the takbirah for the qiyam, will be said, reciting after every two of them what was mentioned concerning the first rak’ah. Then the basmalah, will be followed by Surat al Ghashiya and ruku’ and the salat will then be completed.
According to The Malikis:
**First Rakat: After the takbirat al-'ihram, six more takbirahs will be said, followed by al-Fatihah, Surat al-‘A’ala, ruku’ and sujud.
**
Second Rakat: Then standing up for the second rak’ah and saying the takbirah for it, five more takb’irahs will be said, followed by al-Fatihah, Surat al-Shams or a similar surah; the salat will then be completed.
**According to The Imamis: ****
First Rakat: **The takbirat al-‘ihram will be followed by al- Fatihah and another surah. Then five takbirahs will be said with qunut raising and holding hand in front of body for supplication) after each of them, there is a ruku’, and finally sujud will follow.
**Second Rakat:**After standing up for the second unit (rak’ah), al-Fatihah and another surah will be recited, followed by four takbirahs, each of them followed by qunut. Then the ruku’ will be performed and the salat completed.

In the Book ‘Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat): Details of Commencing Prayer’ of Sunan Abu-Dawud Hadith No. 1145.
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu’minin: The Apostle of Allah 
would say the takbir (Allah is most great) seven times in the first rak’ah and five times in the second rak’ah on the day of the breaking of the fast and on the day of sacrifice (on the occasion of both the Eid prayers, the two festivals).
