The method of Eid Salaah (Hanafi) Following intention should be made: ”I intend offering two rak’ats of Eid-ul-Fitr (or Eid-ul-Adha) Salaah with six Takbeers for Allahbehind this Imam.” After making this intention, start the Salaah by raising the hands up to the ears and saying Allahu-Akbarand then folding the hands. Recite the thanaa’ and then say Allahu-Akbar three times. Each time you say Allahu-Akbar, you should raise your hands to your ears just as you do for Takbeer-e-Tehreemah. After saying each Takbeer, let your hands rest by your sides. In between each Takbeer, you should pause to such an extent that you can read Sub’haanAllah three times. After the third Takbeer, you should not rest your handsbut fold them. Remember it in this way thatwherever something is read after Takbeer, the hands are folded and wherever something is not read the hands will be rested at the sides.(Makhoozaaz Dar-e-Mukhtaar, Rad-ul-Muhtaar, V3, P66)The Imamshould then read ta’awwuz and tas’miyah quietly and Surah Fatiha and another Surah loudly. After this perform the Ruku’. In the second Rak’at, the Imam should first recite Surah Fatiha and another Surah aloud. After this, he should say three Takbeers but after the third Takbeer he should not fold his hands but instead leave them at his sides. He should then say one more Takbeer without raising the hands and go into Ruku’.(Fatawa Alamgeeri, V1, P150)
