Ruling on Eid prayers

Question: 26989

Are the Eid prayers on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha obligatory or Sunnah? What is the sin of the one who does not pray them?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

The Eid prayers on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are fard kifaayah (a communal obligation); some scholars said that they are fard ‘ayn (an individual obligation) like Jumu’ah prayer, so the believer should not neglect them. 

And Allah is the Source of strength.
