Eid coincides with Friday in Nigeria today. Islamic scholars differ on combining prayers: Hanbali school permits skipping Juma'ah after Eid, while Hanafi/Maliki/Shafi'i schools require both. Imam should still hold Juma'ah for attendees. If Eid is attended, Zuhr prayer replaces Juma'ah. Prioritize both prayers if possible; otherwise, attend Eid and pray Zuhr at home. This aligns with Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) concession allowing Eid attendees to skip Juma'ah but still pray Zuhr.
