Is it permissible for the Imam to instruct latecomers to the Eid prayer and sermon to hold another sermon and pray?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is to make up the Eid prayer for whoever missed it with the Imam. As for the Eid sermon, it is a sunnah; it is not obligatory to attend it, listen to it, or make it up for whoever missed it, based on the : "Indeed, we are delivering a sermon, so whoever wishes to sit for the sermon, let him sit, and whoever wishes to leave, let him leave."
