Chapter on the Prayer of the Two Eids
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 6
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ صَلاَةَ فِي اَلْعِيدَيْنِ إِلاَّ مَعَ اَلْإِمَامِ وَ إِنْ صَلَّيْتَ وَحْدَكَ فَلاَ بَأْسَ» وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْأَكْلِ قَبْلَ اَلْخُرُوجِ يَوْمَ اَلْعِيدِ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَأْكُلْ فَلاَ بَأْسَ»
Al-Husayn ibn Said from Uthman from Sama’ah from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “There is no (prescribed) prayer on the two Eids except with the (just) imam. But if you pray alone, then there is no harm.” And I asked Imam عليه السلام about eating before going out on the day of Eid. Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes and if you do not eat, then there is no harm.”
