Is the obligation of Friday prayer waived for someone who prayed the Eid prayer if Eid falls on a Friday, and does this ruling apply to the rest of the prayers on other days?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If Eid and Friday coincide, the preferred view is that whoever attends the Eid prayer is granted a concession to skip the Friday prayer, but they must pray Dhuhr in its place. However, if Eid falls on a day other than Friday, then the Dhuhr prayer should be performed in congregation as usual, unless there is a valid excuse preventing it.
