Is Eid-ul-Fitr Salat obligatory (Wajeb)?
Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha salats are obligatory when Imam Zaman (AS) is present and must be prayed in congregation. But at the time of occultation (GHAYBAH) is recommended (MOSTAHAB) and it is precautionary (EHTIAT WAJEB) not to do it in a congregation [1] but on the intention of hope (RAJA’A) can be prayed in a congregation and the WALIYEH FAQIH or his representative can lead the prayers [2].
