| Eid and Jumu’ah Coinciding on the Same Day Aboo
Dawood (no. 1070), an-Nisaa‘ee (3/194), Ibn Maajah (no. 1310), Ibn Khuzaymah
(no. 1474) ad-Daarimee (no. 1620) Ahmad (4/372) transmit from Iyaas Ibn Abee
Ramlah as-Shaamee who said: ‘‘I witnessed Mu’aawiyah Ibn Abee Sufyaan - Have
you witnessed the coinciding of two ’Eeds
on the same day with the Prophet (sallallaahu
’alayhi wa sallam)?
He replied: ‘Yes.’
So he said: ‘What did he do?’ He
replied: ‘He (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa
sallam) prayed ’Eed and then
gave permission not to pray Jumu’ah,
and said: ‘He amongst you who desires to pray, let them pray.’’ [104] In
this area, Aboo Hurairah and others report from the Prophet (sallallaahu
’alayhi wa sallam). The
Companions also act according to this. ’Abdur-Razzaaq
reports in his Musannaf (3/305), and
Ibn Abee Shaybah in his Musannaf
(2/187) with a authentic chain of narration from ’Alee Ibn Abee Taalib
that two ’Eeds coincided on the
same day, so he said: ‘‘He who wishes to pray Jumu’ah
then let him do so and he who wishes to sit then let him do so.’’ And in Saheehul-Bukhaaree
is a similar narration from ’Uthmaan (radiyallaahu
’anhu). In
Sunan Aboo Dawood (no. 1072), and in
the Musannaf of ’Abdur-Razzaaq (no.
5725) with an authentic chain of narration from Ibn Zubayr that he said: ‘‘Two
’Eeds coincided on the same day and
so they were both joined together by making them one.
He prayed on the day of Jumu’ah
two rak’ahs in the morning and he
did not add to them until he prayed the ’Asr
Prayer ...’’ Ash-Shawkanee
said in Naylul-Awtaar (3/348) after this narration: ‘‘It is apparent that he
did not pray Dhuhr Prayer.’’
It also shows that if for any (permissible) reason, the Jumu’ah
Prayer is cancelled it is not obligatory for the person for whom it has be
cancelled to pray the Dhuhr Prayer
and ’Ataa‘ held this opinion. Thus
it is apparent that those who hold this opinion are those who say that the Jumu’ah
Prayer is the origin.
You are well aware of what He obligated over his servants on the day of Jumu’ah,
and that is the Jumu’ah Prayer.
Thus making the Dhuhr Prayer
obligatory upon a person who leaves it i.e.
Jumu’ah, either due to a permissible excuse or otherwise is in need of
evidence and there is no evidence which is worthy of being adhered to from that
which I know. What
to do when `Eed
coincides with Friday Response: If the `Eed coincides with Friday, then attendance to the Jumu'ah prayer for anyone who attended the `Eed prayer is "dropped" (not obligatory) except for the imaam. For certainly he is not relieved of this obligation except if the people do not gather for the Jumu'ah (prayer). And with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions. The
Permanent Committee for Islaamic Research and Fataawa, comprising - What
to do when `Eed
coincides with Friday Response: That which is legislated for the Muslims if the `Eed coincides with Friday is to pray the `Eed prayer and the Jumu'ah prayer in the masaajid (plural of masjid) where the Jumu'ah prayer is (normally) held. And it is permissible for one who attended the `Eed prayer to leave off the Jumu'ah and instead perform the Zuhr prayer. Shaykh
