Eid Prayer (or Salat al-Eid) is

Explanation: The ruling on Eid prayer depends on your school of Islamic jurisprudence, but it is primarily classified as Wajib (obligatory) or Sunnah Mu'akkadah (highly recommended). It is not generally considered Farz (an absolute individual obligation like the five daily prayers).

Islamic schools of thought view the Eid prayer as follows:

Hanafi: It is considered Wajib (mandatory) for adult men who are sane and residents. Missing it without a valid excuse is considered sinful.

Hanbali: Many Hanbali scholars consider it Fard Kifayah (a communal obligation), meaning if enough people in the community perform it, the rest are excused.

Shafi'i and Maliki: It is classified as Sunnah Mu'akkadah (a highly confirmed tradition), meaning it is highly rewarded but not strictly mandatory, and there are no sins for missing it.
