Question 109304

Does the pilgrim have to offer the Eid prayer for Eid al-Adha?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

The pilgrims do not have to offer the Eid prayer for Eid al-Adha, but any of them who do pray it will be rewarded. 

And Allah is the source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.
