Explanation
– Eid Salah refers to the special congregational prayers offered specifically for the two annual Islamic religious celebrations, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, each occurring once per year.
– This prayer includes additional Takbirs compared to regular obligatory prayers and is traditionally followed by a sermon (Khutbah), though attending the sermon itself is not obligatory as it is for Jumu’ah.
– For exams, remember that Eid Salah does not have an Adhan (call to prayer) or Iqamah preceding it, distinguishing it from the standard five daily obligatory prayers.
