ANSWER:

If you are praying eid out in the open, they are right.

But if you are praying the eid prayer in a masjid, its mandatory to pray before sitting down.

QUESTION: Our imam shab said that there is no nafil before Eid prayer so you just sit directly and when I about to pray tahitul masjid someone stopped me and said this same. So is it true and correct?

QUESTION: I wear abaya outside, it’s long so it sometimes touches roads and washroom floor as well although I try my best to tuck it up to prevent touching it to the floor. On seeing, I find traces of dust on it and nothing else.Can I pray in such abaya while I’m outside or should I carry a different outer gown (which sometimes become difficult as I already carry a baby bag and handbag a with me)
