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.
