🗒️ Quick reminders regarding the Eid Khutbah (sermon / lecture):
1] It is not obligatory to attend the Eid Khutbah after praying the two Rak'ahs of Salat Al-'Eid, which consists of seven Takbeeraat (including the first Takbeer) in the first Rak'ah and five Takbeeraat in the second Rak'ah. However, it is more rewarding and beneficial for one's faith Imaan to attentively listen to the Eid lecture that usually takes less than 30 minutes.
2] While talking during the Eid Khutbah (sermon / lecture) is permissible according to some scholars, particularly when necessary, it is better to pay attention and strive to understand what the Imaam is addressing.
3] There is no sin upon a Muslim who listens to a part of the Eid Khutbah then decides to go someplace else early, since attending the Eid Khutbah is not mandatory. They may miss out though on attaining immense rewards for striving to follow the Sunnah of the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam.
Allah the Almighty knows best.

📖 Umm 'Atiyyah RadhiAllahu 'anha narrated: 'We were ordered to come out on the day of Eid (to attend the Eid gathering), even the young girls and menstruating women from their houses. We would stand behind the men and declare the Greatness of Allah (say the Takbeeraat regularly) along with them, and supplicate to Allah along with them, hoping for the blessings of that day and its purification from sin.'
