#107 Taudhih Al-Hukmi : Solat Sunat Hari Raya Antara Muwafiq, Masbuq dan Qada’
How should the Eid prayer be completed if a worshipper joins late, the imam forgets the takbir, or the prayer is missed at its proper time?
Short answer
According to the qawl jadid, a follower who catches part of the takbir with the imam only follows the remaining takbir, since the place for the takbir is before reciting al-Fatihah.

Summary
According to the qawl jadid, a follower who catches part of the takbir with the imam only follows the remaining takbir, since the place for the takbir is before reciting al-Fatihah. A latecomer who joins while the imam is bowing bows along without the Eid takbir and is counted as having the rak'ah, then completes the missed rak'ah with the takbir that applies. Someone who remembers a forgotten takbir after bowing may not return to standing, and the prayer is invalid if done deliberately with knowledge of the ruling. A missed Eid prayer may be made up at another time according to the al-azhar view of the Shafi'i school.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Makmum yang masbuq rakaat solat sunat hari raya mesti menyempurnakan rakaat yang tertinggal sama seperti solat yang lain.
