Can Muslim women attend the eid al-adha prayers in the west?

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

 

Thank you for your good question.

Eid Al-Adha is a day of happiness and blessings for all. Women, men, boys, girls, and kids attend the Eid Prayer to share the happiness and the blessings of the Eid with the community members. It is Sunnah for sisters, like brothers, to attend the Eid Prayer and go to the musalah (prayer-place) with all members of the community.

 

Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Prophet (peace be on him) would take his wives and daughters to the two Eids. (Ibn Majah and Al-Bayhaqi)

 

Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)  further reported, “I went out with the Prophet (peace be on him) on the day of (Eid) Al-Fitr  or Al-Adha, and he prayed and gave a khutbah (sermon), and then he went to the women (attending the Eid prayer) and admonished them, reminded them of Allah, and ordered them to give in charity.” (Al-Bukhari)

 

May Allah accept your and our good deeds, ameen.

 

Allah Almighty knows best.
