2. Ṣalāh (Ritual Prayer)
٢۔ كتاب الصلاة
Rukhsah (excuse) for praying Jumuah when Eid falls on a Friday
I witnessed Muawiyah b. Abu Sufyan asking Zayd b. Arqam: Did you offer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Friday and Eid prayers happening on the same day? He said: Yes. He asked: How did he do it? He replied: He offered the Eid prayer and granted a concession ˹to the people˺ to offer the Friday prayer, and said: "If anyone wants to pray it, he may pray."
شَهِدْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَهُوَ يَسْأَلُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ أَشَهِدْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِيدَيْنِ اجْتَمَعَا فِي يَوْمٍ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ صَنَعَ؟ قَالَ: صَلَّى الْعِيدَ ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ «مَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فَلْيُصَلِّ۔»
Ata' ibn AbuRabah said: Ibn az-Zubayr led us in the 'Id prayer on Friday early in the morning. When we went to offer the Friday, he did not come out to us. So we prayed ourselves alone. At that time Ibn Abbas was present in at-Ta'if. When he came to us, we mentioned this (incident) to him. He said: He followed the sunnah.
صَلَّى بِنَا ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ رُحْنَا إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا وُحْدَانًا وَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بِالطَّائِفِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَصَابَ السُّنَّةَ
Friday and Eid al-Fitr fell on the same day during the lifetime of Ibn al-Zubayr. He said: The Eids have coincided on the same day. He combined them and prayed ˹only˺ two rakahs (i.e. he only prayed the Eid prayer) in the morning and did not add anything to them (i.e. did not pray Jumuah) until he offered the Asr prayer.
اجْتَمَعَ يَوْمُ جُمُعَةٍ وَيَوْمُ فِطْرٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَ عِيدَانِ اجْتَمَعَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ فَجَمَعَهُمَا جَمِيعًا فَصَلاَّهُمَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ بُكْرَةً لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَيْهِمَا حَتَّى صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ
Eid prayer is sufficient as the Jumuah prayer and the Prophet ﷺ said that we shall still offer the Jumuah prayer
from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said: Two Eids have synchronized on this day. If anyone does not want to offer the Friday prayer, the Eid prayer is sufficient for him. ˹As for us,˺ we shall offer the Friday prayer.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ فِي يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا عِيدَانِ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَجْزَأَهُ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَإِنَّا مُجَمِّعُونَ
