Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

MANNER OF PERFORMING EIDAIN SALAAH

One should begin the Salaah in the usual manner by facing the Qiblah and following the Imam. The hands should be raised saying Allaahu Akbar and then joined. In the first Rakaat after saying ‘Sanah’ and taawwuz but before the qiraat, the hands should be raised to the ears and let go, meanwhile saying ALLAAH-u-Akbar. The hands should be raised a second time to the ears, and let go meanwhile, saying ALLAAH-u-Akbar. The third time ALLAAH - u-Akbar as for the second time, but the hands should be joined. Then QURAAN should be recited and Rakaat completed as is ordinarily done. In the second Rakaat, the raising and leting go of the hands should be done after the qiraat following the Imam, but the hands should not be joined after the third takbeer. When the Imam says the takbeer the fourth time, then ruku should be performed, and the Salaah completed in the usual manner. [Bahishti Zewar]

Eidain Salaah consists of two Rakaats without any Aazan or iqamah. [Muslim]

It is forbidden to say nafl Salaah in the Eidgah either before or after the Salaah.

If any one has missed the congregational prayer, he is not allowed to say it alone. For the Eidain Salaah, congregation is a necessary condition. However, if the number of such men is sufficient they may form a second congregation to offer the Salaah. [Bahishti Gauhar]
