(BLESSED IYD OF RAMADAN) It is written in Halabî-yi kebîr: “The namâz of ’Iyd consists of two rak’ats. It is performed in jamâ’at. It cannot be performed individually. In the first rak’at, after the Subhânaka the takbîr-i zawâid is said three times; that is, the hands are lifted up to the ears three times; in the first and second times, they are let down hanging on both sides, and after the third time they are clasped under the navel. After the imâm says the Fâtiha and the additional sûra aloud, they (the imâm and the jamâ’at) bow for the rukû’. In the second rak’at the Fâtiha and an additional sûra are said first, then the hands are lifted up to the ears again, three times, and after each time they are let down hanging on both sides. In the fourth takbîr you do not lift your hands up to your ears but instead bend for the rukû’. In the first and second rak’ats five and four takbîrs are said respectively. And in order not to forget where you will put your hands after those nine takbîrs, you memorize this procedure as follows: “Hang them twice and clasp them once. Hang them thrice and then bend. ” It is stated in Mâ-lâ-budda[1]: “A person who misses the jamâ’at does not make qadâ of ’Iyd prayer. If the entire jamâ’at have failed to perform a namâz of ’Iyd because of some excuse, the namâz of ’Iyd of Fitr can be performed on the second, (and not on the third,) and the namâz of ’Iyd of Adhâ can be performed on the third day as well (as on the second). __________________________ [1] It was written by Thenâullah Dahlawî ‘rahmatullâhi ta’âlâ ’alaih’, (1143 [1730 A.D.] – 1255 [1810].)
