Here are the key points on Eid ul-Adha prayer etiquette:
* **Prepare:** Perform *Ghusl* (ritual bath), wear best clean clothes, and **do NOT eat** before the prayer (unlike Eid ul-Fitr). Recite Takbir en route.
* **Arrive & Pray:** Go early to the mosque or prayer ground. Pray in congregation, maintain silence, and line up properly.
* **During Prayer:** Follow the Imam carefully. There are 2 *rak'ahs* with extra Takbirs: **7** in the first *rak'ah* (after opening Takbir), and **5** in the second *rak'ah* (before recitation). Listen attentively to the Khutbah (sermon) afterward.
* **After Prayer:** Greet others ("Eid Mubarak"), take a different route home (Sunnah), and perform the sacrifice (Qurbani) if applicable.
* **General:** Distribute sacrificial meat to family, friends, and the needy. Engage in charity, maintain joy/gratitude, avoid prohibited acts, and include family/community.
* **Key Notes:** Women are encouraged to attend (including those menstruating, for the Khutbah). Prayer time is after sunrise & before Zuhr. Follow local Imam for minor variations (e.g., exact Takbir count).
