Ruling on Eid Prayer for a Traveler

What is the ruling on Eid prayer for a traveler?

1. Shortening the Prayer (Qasr): A traveler is permitted to shorten the four-unit prayers to two units. This applies whether they are on a journey or staying temporarily in another location.
2. Performing Eid Prayer at the Place of Stay: A traveler may perform the Eid prayer at their place of stay, such as a hotel, a relative’s house, or any other location. In this case, the prayer is performed as a regular local prayer, without shortening.

This ruling facilitates travelers in performing their worship and allows them to celebrate Eid appropriately according to their temporary location and circumstances.
