The practice of giving a talk before Salat-ul-Eid
Q. In a Hadith of Bukhari Sharif (Volume 1, Nos. 908, 910, 914, 925 in the Arabic-Urdu edition), Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) recommended the following practice on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ud-Adha: performing Salat-ul-Eid, delivering the khutbah, and then giving a wa'az or talk. The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) then added:
"Whoever practices as I have done has in fact followed my Sunnah."
Unfortunately, today, the majority (if not all) of our Imams do not follow this practice of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam). Instead, the following sequence has been adopted: we start with a talk, then perform Salat-ul-Eid, and finally give the khutbah. Can we perform Salah behind such an Imam?
A. After the departure of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) but during the time of the Sahabah-e-Kiraam (Radiyallahu anhum), Marwaan started the practice of performing the Khutbah before Salat-ul-Eid, rather than starting with the Salah itself. This led the Sahabah (Radiyallahu anhum) to say that reciting the Khutbah before the Salah is against the Sunnah. The practice of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) was to first perform Salat-ul-Eid and then proceed with the recitation of the Khutbah. The Hadith you mentioned clearly shows us the correct order to follow for the Salah and the Khutbah. On the other hand, there is nothing in this Hadith that prohibits giving a talk while waiting for the Musallis.
It should be noted that no one has described the practice of giving a talk or wa'az before Salat-ul-Eid as "Sunnah" or "Wajib." It is simply a golden opportunity to raise awareness among the Muslim masses. From a legal (Islamic) standpoint, there is no harm in omitting it. However, giving a talk on this occasion is not considered Bid'ah (innovation).
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with performing Salah behind an Imam who adopts this practice.
