What is the ruling on Friday prayer if it coincides with an Eid day, and is it obligatory for someone who attended the Eid prayer, or is the Eid prayer sufficient, with the Dhuhr prayer performed instead, and is the call to prayer (adhan) made for the Dhuhr prayer in the mosques?
If Eid and Friday coincide on the same day, then whoever prays Eid is permitted to skip Friday prayer and pray it as Dhuhr instead. However, it is better to pray Friday prayer with the congregation. As for someone who did not attend the Eid prayer, Friday prayer is not waived for them. The Imam of the mosque must establish Friday prayer so that whoever wishes to attend, and whoever did not attend Eid prayer, can witness it. Those who are excused from attending Friday prayer should pray Dhuhr after its time has entered. It is not prescribed to call the for Dhuhr on that day except in mosques where Friday prayer is held. As for the claim that both Friday and Dhuhr prayers are waived for those who attend Eid, this is incorrect, as it contradicts the and waives an obligatory prayer without evidence.
