1070)ДЄlso cited as evidence is the narration of Abu Dawud in his Sunan, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe was salaam, which states that he said : Two Eids have fallen on this day, so whoever wished, it will suffice him instead of the Friday prayer and we are offering the Friday prayer.( Abu Dawud no 1074) He asked : вЂќ And what did he do ? He replied : вЂќ He offered the Eid prayer, then he gave permission for those who wished, to perform the Friday prayer, saying : Whoever wants to pray, then let him pray.

In saying this, the scholars cite as evidence the narration of Abu Dawud in his Sunan, on the authority of Iyyas bin Abi Ramlah Ash-Shami, who said : I witnessed MuвЂ™awiyyah bin Abi Sufyan, may Allah be pleased with him, asking Zaid bin Arqam: Did you witness two Eids falling on the same day with the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe was salaam ? He said : Yes. If no one attends the Friday prayer, he is relieved of its obligation and he should offer the Zhur prayer. Whoever prayed the Eid prayer on Friday, it is permitted for him not to attend the Friday prayer on that day, except for the Imam, for he is obliged to perform it for whoever wishes to attend it -be they from among those who attended the Eid prayer, or those who did not attend it. In this case what should be done? Should we pray Zuhr if we dont offer the Friday prayer, or is there no requirement for it if we do not perform the Friday prayer? If вЂќEid Al-/ Fitr or Eid Al-Adha fell on Friday. RECOMMENDED READING вЂ“ Fataawa related to Salaatul вЂEidayn (The Two Eid Prayers)
