Summary
The Eid prayer remains valid even if a person does not listen to the Eid sermon. Delivering the sermon and listening to it are recommended acts and not conditions for the validity of the prayer. Leaving the sermon or not listening to it is disliked (makruh), and the sermon does not need to be repeated.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, sah solat sunat hari raya sekiranya tidak mendengar khutbah raya.
