Method of offering Eid Salah (Hanafi)

First make the following intention: ‘I intend to offer two Rak’āt Ṣalāĥ of Eid-ul-Fiṭr with six additional Takbīrāt, for the sake of Allah, following this Imām.’

Having made the intention, raise the hands up to the ears, utterالله أكبر and then fold the hands below the navel and recite the Šanā. Then raise your hands to your ears, utterالله أكبر ُ leave them at the sides; then raise the hands to the ears again, utterالله أكبر and leave them at the sides; then raise the hands to the ears once again, utterالله أكبر and fold them. In short, the hands will be folded after the first and fourth Takbīr, whereas they will be left at the sides after the second and third Takbīr.

Then, the Imām will recite Ta’awwuż and Tasmiyaĥ in a low voice, and Sūraĥ Al-Fātiḥaĥ and another Sūraĥ aloud. Thereafter, he will perform Rukū’. In the second Rak’at, the Imām will first recite Sūraĥ Al-Fātiḥaĥ and another Sūraĥ aloud.

After the recitation, utter three Takbīrāt raising the hands to the ears each time and leaving them at the sides. Then, perform Rukū’ by uttering the fourth Takbīr without raising the hands, and complete the rest of the Ṣalāĥ as per the usual method.
