Indeed, the Eid – O servants of Allah – has its sunnahs. And from the greatest of its Sunnahs is that the effect of gratefulness are apparent on the servant.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
The Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Shaykh Abdul Azeez Aal-Ash Shaykh (hafidahullaah) gave some advice regarding the Eid prayer during the lock down and curfews preventing people from performing the Eid Prayer outside or in the mosques.
He said that as for the Eid prayer, if the current situation continues and it is not possible to establish the prayer in the Musallaaat (the open places designated for the Eid prayers) or the designated mosques, then indeed the prayer is performed in the homes with no khutbah after it. That is because if it is recommended for the one who misses the Eid prayer – with the Imaam – to make it up*, then it is more worthy [or more so] that performing the prayer is legislated for those in whose countries it is not being established, because the establishment of this Islamic rite (the Eid Prayer) is carried out based on one’s ability.

* there is a difference of opinion regarding this, however this is the position of the Shaykh (hafidahullah)
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzaan was asked:
He says, oh honourable Shaykh (May Allāh give you success), if the day of Eid coincides with Friday, and we have prayed the Eid prayer and then the time of Dhuhr comes, which of the two is better, that we pray jumuah or dhuhr?

Attached is a comprehensive guide and rulings regarding:
Guide was compiled, summarised and translated by Ustaadh Rayyan Barker (hafidahullah).
All Praise is to Allah, who blessed us today, with an excellent turnout at the Eid Prayer once again; and it is Allah that facilitates all means to good.
The Masjid would like to thank those who facilitated this Sunnah for “Whoever does not thanked the people will not thanked Allah” (authenticated by Shaykh Albani). May Allah bless and reward them all.
We are fortunate, by the fadl of Allah, to have such dedicated and hardworking brothers and sisters; who are always sacrificing themselves and their time to serve the community.
The good deeds done are written by Allah and he knows their number. But we hope to give an idea as to the lengths some of the volunteers go to.
During Ramadhaan, we had brothers clearing and cleaning the masjid. Families providing food and drink for those opening their fast and working to keep the masjid clear from smells and distraction. Further more during the Tarawee’ prayer (a busy time indeed) then a rotor of brothers took it in turns, to take care of the cars, of those taking part in the prayer.
Moving on to the Eid prayer setup; then some of our sisters took part in raising some funds to prepare custom goody bags to make the day special. Packing them at their houses completing the affair with one of our families completing the packing then delivering them to the masjid.
Everyone was able to enjoy the atmosphere this morning at the park. But even this setup required efforts. The night before brothers came to the masjid early. They cleaned up and prepared all the equipment needed for Eid prayer outside. Even in this instance many of the rolls we have laid out have been donated by a group of brothers, and the van used was also lent to us for Allahs sake.
Finally in the morning whilst many were still sleeping or relaxing; others set off early, to setup for anyone attending be prayer; some leaving or making arrangements for their families to come afterwards, others rushing home to collect their families in between.
Our aim here is not to count deed; for indeed the deeds done are numerous and Allah the most just is the one who rewards his slaves. However what we can do is appreciate such (invisible) deeds, and efforts made in the organisation of such an event.
And there is no doubt other Salafi Maraakiz around the country will have similar tales of sacrifice and effort- some of which we have read already from the likes of Al Baseerah, Salafi Publications, Markaz Muaadh and others. No doubt this is a sign of love for this blessed da’wa, and brings immense happiness to our hearts
We hope to see everyone tonight, in happiness and bliss, gathered with their brothers and sisters for Allah’s sake on this wonderful day.
تقبل الله منا ومنكم
Taqaballallahu minna wa minkum.
May Allaah accept from us and from you (Aameen).
Waalaikumsalaam wa rahmatullah
