As Eid-ul-Fitr falls on Friday, April 21, the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs issued a clarification regarding the order of Friday prayers.
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Islamic Affairs issued guidelines for mosques.
The ministry said that those who attend the Eid prayer on Friday are exempted from attending the Friday prayer, they can perform the Zuhr prayer, however, they are encouraged to perform both prayers.
According to the Saudi Ministry, those who will not participate in the Eid prayer are not exempted from the Friday prayer.
The Ministry of Islamic Affairs of Saudi Arabia also said that those who have attended the Eid prayer and do not attend the Friday prayer, then it is obligatory for them to perform the Zuhr prayer.
It should be noted that Eid-ul-Fitr is being celebrated today in Saudi Arabia after the sighting of the moon.
The largest Eid-ul-Fitr prayer gatherings around the world were held in Masjid al-Haram and Masjid-e-Nabawi (peace be upon him) in Saudi Arabia.
Millions of children of Islam performed the Eid al-Fitr prayers in Masjid al-Haram in Makkah and Masjid al-Nabawi in Madinah.
