It is recommended that one perform the Eid al-Aḍḥā prayer after the sun has risen. After the sun has risen on the day of Eid al-Fiṭr, it is recommended that one eat something, pay the fiṭrah alms tax (zakāt al‑fiṭrah),[4] and then perform Eid prayers.
Ruling 1498.* The Eid al-Fiṭr and Eid al-Aḍḥā prayer consists of two rakʿahs and is performed as follows: after saying takbīrat al‑iḥrām at the start of the prayer and reciting Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah in each rakʿah, one must say a number of takbīrs and perform a qunūt between each takbīr. Based on obligatory precaution, the number of takbīrs and qunūts in each rakʿah is three takbīrs and two qunūts.
After the third takbīr, based on obligatory precaution, one must say another takbīr before going into rukūʿ. Therefore, there will be a total of four takbīrs in each rakʿah. However, it is better that in the first rakʿah one says five takbīrs with four qunūts between them, and in the second rakʿah four takbīrs and three qunūts between them. Here also, based on obligatory precaution, one must perform another takbīr before going into rukūʿ.
The rest of the prayer must then be performed in the same way one would perform other two rakʿah prayers, i.e. with two sajdahs, tashahhud, and salām.
