Question


how is eid salah prayed behind an imam who does not perform six takbirat al-zawaid in the eid salah. or local imam i performs 12 takbirat...i think its a similar case in the haramayn. what about behind imams of the four madhabs. How does a hanafi follow?


Answer

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

I pray that this finds you well, and in the best of health and spirits. May Allah grant you all good and success in this life and the next.

One simply follows the imam with regards to the number of takbirs in Eid. The preference in the number of takbirs is one of recommendation, not necessity. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah]

And Allah alone gives success.

Faraz Rabbani
