Question
Assalamu alaikum.
If the day of Eid happens to be on Friday, do we pray the Eid prayer and the Jumu'ah prayer, or do we pray the Eid prayer and the Dhuhr prayer?
Jazakum Allahu khairan.
Answer
That depends on the opinion of your local imam. If he chooses to hold them both, it would be better for you to attend the Juma'ah, in addition to the Eid prayer. However, if you have already attended the Eid prayer, you do not have to go to the Friday prayer if they both fall on the same day.
