WHEN Eid
AND
Jumu’a COINCIDE
By: Shaikh Ibrahim Madani
If Eid falls on Jumu‘a, the Eid salat will not make up for Jumu‘a salat. We
should remember that Jumu‘a is fard [obligatory] and its compulsion is
mentioned in the Quran, whereas Eid salat is sunnah or at the most wājib
[necessary]. In that case, how can the sunnah of Eid cancel out something
greater [an obligatory act] than itself? Some people who are of this opinion
have misunderstood certain hadiths which are mentioned below.

Two Eids have coincided on this day. Whoever wishes Eid will suffice
for him; but we will be praying Jumu‘a.
Imam Shāfi‘õ (ra) narrated from ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azīz (ra),
ﺍﺟﺘﻤﻊ ﻋﻴﺪﺍﻥ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻋﻬﺪ ﺍﻟﻨﱯ ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ: ﻋﻦ ﻋﻤﺮ ﺑﻦ ﻋﺒﺪ ﺍﻟﻌﺰﻳﺰ ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻨﻪ ﻗﺎﻝ

Two Eids coincided in the time of the Blessed Prophet r. The Blessed
Prophet r announced, “Whoever, from amongst the people of the
outskirt areas, wishes to stay [for Jumu‘a] may stay.”
In fact, Jumu‘a was not even held in the villages outside of Madina. Some
narrators have deleted mention of the ‘ahl-‘óliya’ (villagers of Awaali, a
village in the outskirts of Madina) though other narrators did mention it
which makes the matter plainly clear.
In the above Hadith, the words are innā Mujammi‘ūn (we will pray
Jumu‘a). “We” is referring to the people of Madina who prayed their
Jumu‘a with the Blessed Prophet r.

Today, two Eids have coincided; those villagers who wish to wait for
Jumu‘a may wait, but if someone wants to return, I will not stop him.
‘Uthmón t is repeating what the Blessed Prophet r said previously that the
villagers are allowed to return to their villages in the outskirts of Madina.
We learn from this that Jumu‘a was compulsory upon the people of Madina
and the concession [not to pray Jumu‘a] was only for those who lived
outside of Madina.

“If Eid occurs on the day of Jumu‘a, the imam will lead the Eid salat
on the normal Eid salat time. He will then give permission to those
who are present amongst the outsiders [those who do not live in the city]
to return, if they wish, to their homes without returning for Jumu‘a. It
is at their discretion whether they wish to stay in the city [and pray
Jumu‘a] or go home and return for Jumu‘a; though, they are not
required to return for Jumu‘a. Though, none of the city dwellers are
permitted to miss Jumu‘a unless they have a valid reason which would
have normally excused them from attending Jumu‘a. The same ruling
applies for Eid al-Aðhó in a city in which Jumu‘a and Eid are held.”

(547 ﺹ: 1
This Hadith clearly states that the Blessed Prophet r prayed both Jumu‘a
and Eid when they fell on the same day.
