Is it true that attending Eid prayer exempts you from the obligation of Friday prayer?
Scholars have differed on whether those who pray the Eid prayer are exempted from Jumu'ah when both fall on the same day.
One of the companions asked Zaid ibn Arqam: "Did you witness with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ two Eids that fell on the same day?" Zaid replied: "Yes." When asked what the Prophet ﷺ did, Zaid said: "He prayed the Eid prayer, then gave permission regarding the Friday prayer." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever wishes to pray (Jumu'ah) may pray it, and whoever wishes not to, there is no harm." (Sunan Abu Dawud 1070)
Some scholars explained the wisdom behind this: Friday is an Eid, and Eid al-Fitr/al-Adha are also Eids. When two acts of worship of the same type coincide, Islamic law often incorporates one into the other - just as wudu is incorporated into ghusl.
Important reminder: If someone chooses to skip Jumu'ah after praying Eid, they must still pray Dhuhr! ⏰
