Question:
In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful. May the peace, blessings and mercy of Allah be upon you. Is the obligation to pray the Jumuʿah prayer dropped if the first day of Eid is a Friday? Thank you very much and may you always be in a good state.
Answer (Imam Muḥammad Saʿīd Ramaḍān Al-Būṭī, may Allah have mercy on him):
The obligation to pray the Jumuʿah prayer is not lifted because of it coinciding with Eid if the person praying is present inside the city or town in which the Eid and Jumuʿah prayers are held. The obligation is only lifted for someone who comes from another town to pray the Eid prayer, for if he returns to his town he is not obliged to return once again to the town in which he performed the Eid prayer in order to perform the Jumuʿah prayer.
