Salat al-Idayn fi al-Musalla Hiya al-SunnahNasir al-Din al-Albani

to al-Baqiʿ¹—according to another wording, to the prayer-ground—where he prayed two rakʿahs. He then turned to face us and said: “The first rite² we are to perform on this day is to begin with the prayer and then return to slaughter. Whoever does so has matched our sunnah. As for the one who slaughtered beforehand, it is merely meat he hastened for his family; it has nothing to do with the rite.”
