Summary
Scholars differ on whether Friday prayer remains obligatory when Eid falls on a Friday. According to the majority of scholars, including the Hanafi, Maliki and Shafi'i schools and some Hanbalis, Friday prayer remains obligatory even after the Eid prayer has been performed. Their reasoning is the general command in the Quran and hadith making Friday prayer obligatory, and the practice of the Prophet who still held Friday prayer on such a day. The Eid prayer is a strongly recommended sunnah, while Friday prayer is an obligation that is not dropped because of it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, sekalipun sudah dilakukan solat Hari Raya, solat Jumaat tetap wajib. Inilah pendapa jumhur ulama termasuk Mazhab Hanafi, Maliki, Syafie dan sebahagian daripada Hanabilah.
