Is it permissible to perform the Eid prayer at home with more than three men gathered due to lockdown and home quarantine, and is a sermon prescribed for it in this case?
The answer summarizes the ruling on Eid prayer at home for those who missed it or were unable to attend, stating that it is permissible to pray it individually or in congregation with family. It indicates that the majority of scholars prefer praying it in its original form (two rak'ahs with extra takbeers) without a sermon, citing the action of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him. As for the Shafi'i school, they deem the two sermons desirable when praying it in congregation at home, while the Maliki school holds that there should be no sermon in this case. Sheikh Abd al-Rahman al-Barrak mentioned that Eid prayer during the pandemic (Corona) is treated like a missed prayer, so it should be prayed in homes, in congregation or individually, two rak'ahs with takbeers, without a sermon.
