It is forbidden to observe a fast on the 'Id days.
Anyone who misses the 'Id congregational prayer may offer it
alone or in a group, up until the time of Zuhr prayer. 240 If the time
of the Zuhr prayer has arrived, the 'Id prayer cannot be offered.
Mild entertainment and sports which do not include activities
which are forbidden by Al-Islam are permissible on 'Id days.241
Persons joining the 'Id prayer after it has started should first
make their intention silently, then say, "Allah is the Greatest," the
required number of times before joining the Imam. A worshipper
who joins while the Imam is reciting the Holy Qur'an in the stand-
ing position should first make his intention silently in the standing
position. He should then say, "Allah is the Greatest," the required
number of times, and then join the Imam. If the late-comer joins
the prayer while the Imam is in the bending position he should say,
"Allah is the Greatest," (once) while standing. He should then join
the rest of the congregation when they are in the bending position.
