Question
asalaamu wa alaikum, i just wanted to know as i fasted on saturday is it fard that i go to the mosque today for eid prayers and if i dont does that mean my fasting does not count, thank you asalaamu wa alikum...musa
Answer
Salaat and fasting are two separate acts of worship. Just as it is necessary to fast, it is necessary to offer Salaat.
Eid Salaat is Waajib, thus, one who leaves it out would be sinful. You should try to perform all your Salaat with Jamaat in the Musjid. You will find that Allah will make all your work easy. However, if you didn?t perform Eid Salaat, your fast is still valid.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
