Rules for Ramadan
by Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani (r.a)
Translated by Moulana Muhammad ibn Moulana Haroon Abassoomar

 

The method of performing ‘Eidsalāh

One should first make an intention verbally, or in one’s heart that one is performing 2 rak’āt salāh of ‘Eid that are wājib with 6 extra takbīrs behind the imām. Thereafter one should recite Allāh u akbar, fold his hands and recite thana. Then he should recite Allāh u akbar for the 2nd and 3rd time raising his hands to his ears and placing it to his sides each time. After reciting Allāh u akbar for the 4th time, he should fold his hands and continue with his salāh as normal. In the 2nd rak’āt after the imām has recited the qirāt, he should recite Allāh u akbar thrice each time, raising his hands to his ears and leaving them at his sides.

After saying Allāh u akbar for the 4th time he should go into rukū’ without raising his hands. After the salāh the people should listen to the khutbah and return home.

Sayyidunā Jarīr t reports that Rasūlullāh r said:

"The fast of Ramadān is suspended between the sky and the earth, and it is only raised with the sadaqatul-fitr"

(Al-Targhīb, vol.2 pg.151-152)
___________________________________

Sadaqatul fitr
is wajib (compulsory) on every adult who posseses the nisab of zakat.

It is the responsibility of the father to give the sadaqatul fitr on behalf of his minor children who do not posses the amount of nisab.

If they posses the amount of nisab, then it may be discharged from their own wealth.(Tahtawi)
