Prayer: Recommended Acts Before the Eid Prayers
Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Ayatullah Sistani
Ruling 1497
It is recommended that one perform the Eid al-Aḍḥā prayer after the sun has risen. After the sun has risen on the day of Eid al-Fiṭr, it is recommended that one eat something, pay the fiṭrah alms tax (zakāt al‑fiṭrah),[1] and then perform Eid prayers.
