Question
Salaam Alaikum Shk Aayaz May Allah accept our prayers Could you please comment on how to offer Eid Salah at home during lock down. How many Rakats and Takbeers? Thank you Saleem Mulla
Answer
Wa'alaykumsalaam Wa Rahmatullah

It is pretty simple in shaa Allah.

We pray at home either individual or with a jama'ah (with Family)

We pray 2 ra'kah of prayers with 7 takbeerat (including the takbeerat-ul-Ihraam) in the first raka'ah before Surah Al Faatiha, then we carry on the prayer as normal preferably to read Surah Al 'Alaa after Surah Al Faatihah.

Then we get up from the Sajdah, saying Allahu Akbar. Then we do 5 takbeerat by raising our hand each time and then carry on starting Surah Al Faatihah with preferably Surah Al Ghaashiya after it.

Then conclude the prayer as normal.

No khutbah to be done if praying at home.

Allah knows best
