S. 18 During ‘Eid salah, in the first rak‘at, Our Rasulullah SAW would recite Suratul ’A‘la (No. 87) and Suratul Ghathia (No. 88) in the second rak‘at.
Note: These surahs should not be regarded as obligatory. Other Surahs may also be recited.
S. 19 When Rasulullah SAW completed the prayer (Salatul ‘Eidain) he would stand facing the people who were seated in their rows, deliver a Khutba (sermon), issue instructions and command them (to do good). If he intended to send an army, he did so and likewise issued any special orders he wished to.
S .20 The Khutba is to be delievered after the ‘ Eid Salah.
S.21 During both the Khutbas of ‘Eid, Rasulullah SAW used to recite takbirs frequently.
S.22 The Khutba of both ‘Eids is Sunnah but to listen to it is wajib. It is totally prohibited (haram) to walk around, talk or even read Salah whilst the khutba is in progress.
S.23 It is incorrect and, indeed, not the Sunnat of our beloved Nabi SAW to shake hands or hug (make mu‘anaqah) after the ‘Eid Salat.
However, to meet those who have come from afar by shaking hands with them or hugging such persons as when meeting them ordinarily, is permissible.
S .24 To greet one another on ‘Eid day with the words:
“‘Eid Mubarak” is permissible, but should not be done as a ritual nor with strict adherence.
