Refrences : Fiqh-Us-Sunnah by shekh Al-Sayed Sabiq
If the day of 'Id occurs on Jumu'ah, then salatul Jumu'ah is no longer an obligation upon those who performed the salatul 'Id.
It is preferred to make the ghusl, perfume one's self and don one's best attire on the occasions of the two 'ids
One is to eat before going to the salah for 'idul fitr, (the end of Ramadan) but not do so on the occasion of the 'idul azha (commemmorating Prophet Ibrahim's sacrifice). For 'idul fitr, it is a sunnah to eat an odd number of dates before going to pray salatul 'id while for 'idul azha the eating should be delayed until one returns from the 'id prayers and then he may eat of his sacrifice if he has sacrificed an animal.
Salatul 'id can be performed in the mosque but it is preferred to perform in a place outside the city as long as there is no excuse or reason to do otherwise (e.g., rain and so on)
Shari'ah requires women and children to go out and attend the salatul 'idain. This includes married, single, young, old, or menstruating women
It is preferred for a person to go to the salah by one route and then to return home through another route
It is preferred to hasten in praying salatul azha and to delay the salatul fitr
The salah is performed without any azhan or iqamah and without saying 'as-salatu jami'ah' (prayer in congregation). The sunnah is not to do any of that
The 'id prayer consists of two rak'at during which it is sunnah to pronounce the takbir seven times, after the opening takbir and before the Qur'anic recital in the first rak'ah. During the second rak'ah, one makes takbir five times after the takbir which is customarily made for standing after the prostration. One is to raise one's hands during each pronouncement of the takbir
It is not established that there is any sunnah prayer before or after the 'id prayer
The khutbah after salatul id is a sunnah and so is listening to it
It is a sunnah to pronounce the takbirat on 'id days. The common form of takibrat is to say:
"Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. La ilaha illallah. Wa Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar wa lillahil-hamd."
Translation: Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. There is no God but Allah. Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. All praise belongs to Allah.
The time for the takbirat during the 'id of breaking the fast is from the time one goes to the 'id prayer until the khutbah begins
The time for the takbirat during the 'id of the sacrifice is from the day of 'Arafah to the 'asr of the last day of Mina (third day after 'idul azha)
The takbirat are made during all the times of these days, after salah and all other times. Some say the takbirat are made only after the salah
Recreation, amusements, and playing, if they stay within the moral bounds, are permissible on the days of 'id.
It is commendable to congratulate one another on the days of 'id. saying:
'taqabbal minna wa minka' [May Allah accept it from us and you]þ
