Eid Prayer at Home Due to Illness
Mosques were closed a week ago in Sydney, Australia, due to the spread of Corona, and people are staying at home following the government's order for home isolation. What is the ruling on performing the Eid prayer at home for Eid al-Adha?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The Eid prayer is invalid if the state prohibits it for some reason; because the condition for its validity is the congregation and the imam, among others, so it is not valid at home. And God knows best.
