Summary
The Eid al-Fitr prayer is a time-bound voluntary prayer (al-Muaqqat). According to the preferred view in the Shafi'i school, it is recommended to make it up at any time, though it is better to do so promptly, on the day of Eid itself, or on the following day if that is not possible. The make-up prayer is performed like the original: two rak'ahs with seven additional takbirs after the opening supplication and five after rising from prostration in the second rak'ah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, sunat untuk menggantikannya pada bila-bila masa, namun sebaiknya disegerakan melakukannya walaupun pada hari raya.
