Another question that's coming up as we draw closer to the end of
the month of Ramadan and II days nearly upon us that can we do Eid
prayer at home? So the same answer if you go back to our answer that
our response that we took when we spoke about Juma prayer, that Juma
prayer is not one of those prayers which are to be done in the home,
it's against the spirit of the Juma prayer, likewise, even a
greater prayer. Now I know for some people, it is like we there
is no need without the prayer. In fact, some people only perform a
prayer, because they see that as probably one of the most important
signs, you know, to show that they're believers, whatever the
case may be for people, but just like with Juma opera effect, even
more, so it should not be done at home, you don't do eat prayer at
home, you should, if it's an open place, if things are opened up by
then hamdulillah in some countries, it is easing up,
Australia is allowing I think, 20 people no is allowing 50 people.
And that's all as of now. And hopefully, things will open up
even more than if that's the case, then of course you can do Eat,
Pray in more open places like in, you know, in a hole in a masjid,
if that's going to be open, or in a larger park or something like
that. Whatever the case is, but it should not be done in a home.
That's just against the whole spirit of Eid prayer, right?
Because the prayers where you bring everybody together should be
general permission and so on. So in sha Allah, that should help but
again, if you can't do the prayer, right in a proper designated space
for that, then just do some Knuffle prayer at home on that
day, and we hope Allah subhanaw taala will give us a wonderful
blessing of eat. Remember, the main purpose of eat is that when
we go for the Eat prayer, Allah Subhanallah that's called Leonel
Jaya is right. There's Hadith that make it very clear that this is
the day of awards, because of all the the worship and efforts that
person has put in during the month of Ramadan. The day of the award,
the award giving ceremony is basically the Eat day in that
morning. Right which generally is given when you go for eat prayer.
We're hoping that Allah will still give us that reward. Right because
we still did the efforts at home and they still Allah subhanaw
taala to give it us, right, he will give us that reward that
morning in sha Allah. That's why it's a good idea to do a few
records of prayer. A few records of prayer in the morning in sha
Allah if we can't get access to Eat Pray somewhere and may Allah
subhanaw taala accept our Ramadan and our and give us a full reward
sha Allah on the day of Eid despite our shortcomings, just
like a low harem
