Praying Eid in the Musallaa is the Sunnah-Imam Muhammad Nasirud-Din Al-Albani

Praying ‘Eid in the Musallaa is the Sunnah: there is great and profound wisdom behind this Sunnah – the Sunnah of praying in an open area of land. And it is that: The Muslims will have two days of the year where all the people of every city can gather together – whether men, women or children – and turn towards Allaah with their hearts in unity, praying behind one Imaam, making the Takbeer, the Tahleel and supplicating to Allaah sincerely together, as if they were united upon the heart of one man, happy and joyous about the blessing Allaah has bestowed on them. So the Eid will truly be an occasion of celebration for them.

Imaam Al-Albani was perhaps the greatest scholar and the’_Îâ’__mujaddid’_Îâ’__(reviver) of this century, as testified by numerous of his contemporaries. ’_Îâ’__He brought about a great ’_Îâ’__knowledge-based revival to Islaam through his writings and speeches, the likes of which was not seen before him for many, many years. May Allah bestow His Infinite Mercy on him.
