Overnight stays and stoning
Should pilgrims performing Hajj in Makkah pray the Eid al-Adha prayer on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah?
Answer in brief
Pilgrims on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah are not recommended to perform the Eid al-Adha prayer in congregation, but it remains recommended for them to pray it individually. The reason given is that pilgrims are expected to focus on completing the Hajj rites, such as tahallul and stoning the jamrahs. The fatwa cites al-Bujairimi, who holds that congregational prayer by pilgrims is better left out, and al-Nawawi, who bases this ruling on the Prophet's not holding the Eid prayer with the companions at Mina.
