Importance of Jumu'ah Attendance During Eid Celebrations
The article by Murtadha Gusau elaborates on the unique situation when Eid coincides with Jumu'ah (Friday) prayers, highlighting the importance of attending both. It states that attending Eid prayer in the morning is obligatory, and scholars from different Islamic schools, including Hanafiyyah and Malikiyyah, agree on the necessity of attending Jumu'ah prayers afterward.
The Shafi'i school provides exceptions for those living far from the city where Jumu'ah is established. The consensus among scholars is that attending Jumu'ah is obligatory, supported by Quranic verses and hadiths.
Notably, Uthman ibn Affan's narration during his time as Caliph illustrates that he permitted individuals to choose between attending Jumu'ah or returning home after Eid. The article cites various hadiths from notable companions of the Prophet Muhammad, reinforcing the practice of attending both prayers when they coincide.
