Question:
What should be done if Eid coincides with Friday?
Answer:
If the day of Eid coincides with Friday, then whoever prays Eid
with the imaam does not have to attend Jumu’ah (it is not obligatory on
him); in his case it becomes Sunnah. If he does not pray Jumu’ah, he has
to pray Zuhr. This is in the case of people other than the imaam. As
for the imaam, he has to be present for Jumu’ah and lead those Muslims
who attend the prayer. The Jumu’ah prayer should not be forsaken
completely on this day.
