In Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī, from Abū ‘Ubayd, the freed slave of Ibn Azhar, who said: “I witnessed the two ’Eids with ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān on a Friday. He performed the prayer before delivering the sermon, then
Based on these authentic prophetic traditions and reliable reports from the pious predecessors, the majority of scholars have concluded the following:
▪️First: Whoever attends the ’Eid prayer is granted a concession from attending the Jumu'ah prayer. He may instead pray the Dhuhr prayer at its time. However, if he chooses to attend the Jumu’ah prayer with the congregation, that is more virtuous and…

Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah raḥimahullāh said:
«أيام عشر ذي الحجة أفضل من أيام العشر من رمضان، وليالي العشر الأواخر من رمضان أفضل من ليالي عشر ذي الحجة»

Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
I advise youngsters to hasten to get married, especially in these times, when the causes of corruption and temptation are so numerous.
