4 عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ فِي حَدِيثٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِيدِ قَالَ فِي الْأَمْصَارِ كُلِّهَا إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى بِمِنًى فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَوْمَئِذٍ صَلَاةٌ وَ لَا تَكْبِيرٌ.

5 عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : السُّنَّةُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَمْصَارِ أَنْ يَبْرُزُوا مِنْ أَمْصَارِهِمْ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ إِلَّا أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ.

📚 Al-Faqih, Vol. 1, p. 508

6 عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّه أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي صَلَاةِ الْعِيدَيْنِ إِذَا كَانَ الْقَوْمُ خَمْسَةً أَوْ سَبْعَةً فَإِنَّهُمْ يُجَمِّعُونَ الصَّلَاةَ كَمَا يَصْنَعُونَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ...

📚 Al-Faqih, Vol. 1, p. 522

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said about the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers: 'When the number of people is five or seven, they perform the Eid prayer in congregation, just as they do on Friday...!'

📚 Al-Bihar, Vol. 90, p. 375

✅ According to the above narrations and others, the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers are an obligation in congregation with an Imam and a sermon if the conditions are met. However, although the Imam must be just and have the necessary narrative conditions, in no narration is it specified as exclusive to an infallible Imam. Various pieces of evidence, such as:

The indefinite form of the word 'Imam' in the vast majority of its narrations.

Its being set in contrast to individual prayer.

The necessity of establishing it in all cities.

The tradition of the people of all cities going out to open spaces outside the city for the Eid prayer, except for the people of Mecca.

And....

Show that the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers are not limited to the leadership of an infallible, and righteous Shias who are able to deliver the sermon can, if other conditions such as the necessary number are met, perform this obligation in different cities with the indication and permission of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) in the above narrations and others, and they should do so.

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْرَ
