- Give zakat al-fitr before the Eid al-Fitr prayer.
- Say the takbir: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ
- Walk to the prayer place and return by a different route (al-Bukhari 986).

Frequently asked questions
When is Eid al-Fitr 2027?
Eid al-Fitr 2027 (1 Shawwal 1448) is expected on Tuesday, 9 March 2027, according to the Umm al-Qura calendar. The final date depends on sighting the new moon, so it may be a day later in some countries.
When is Eid al-Adha 2027?
Eid al-Adha 2027 (10 Dhul Hijjah 1448) is expected on Sunday, 16 May 2027. The Day of Arafah, when Muslims who are not on Hajj are encouraged to fast, is the day before: Saturday, 15 May 2027.
How is the Eid prayer performed?
Two rak‘ahs without adhan or iqamah. In the first rak‘ah the imam says seven takbirs after the opening takbir, and in the second five takbirs before reciting (Abu Dawud 1151). Then the khutbah is given. It is Sunnah to eat dates before the Eid al-Fitr prayer and to eat from the sacrifice after the Eid al-Adha prayer.
What do Muslims say on Eid?
The Companions greeted each other with “Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum” – may Allah accept from us and from you. Saying the takbir is also Sunnah: from the sighting of the moon until the prayer for Eid al-Fitr, and from 1 Dhul Hijjah until the end of the 13th for Eid al-Adha.
