The Eid prayer is more likely than an individual obligation (fard al-ayn) and Niyyah both salat Eid is done as Wajib, although some Islamic scholars claim that it is only a collective obligation (fard al-kifayah). It is two raka'at, with seven (or three of Imam Hanfi) takbirs offered before the beginning of the first raka'ah and five (or three of Imam Hanafi) before the second. After the salat has been completed, a sermon (sermon) is offered. However, the sermon is not an integral part of Eid salat.
