Eating dates for Eid Prayer when it is perfromed in the Musallaa of Fajr

 


Question:

When people perform the prayer of Eid ul-Fitr in the musallaa of Fajr prayer, should they eat the dates of iftaar before they go to the Fajr prayer or is it better to return back to the family and then proceed out again for the Eid prayer?
Answer:

When it is not possible to return, we say do not leave the house without eating (at the time of Fajr), since by your departure you have intended to leave for the prayer of Fajr and Eid.
