Other Sunni schools usually have 12 Takbirs in the Eid prayer.
In the commonly described non-Hanafi Sunni arrangement, the additional Takbirs are divided between the two rakats: seven in the first and five in the second. Together, those groups total 12. They are recited as part of the special structure of Salat al-Eid, in addition to the ordinary prayer movements and recitations.
The count is easy to confuse because different schools organize the Takbirs differently. Hanafi practice commonly uses three additional Takbirs in the first rakat and three in the second, while the other Sunni pattern is often summarized as seven plus five. The figures therefore describe a school’s ritual arrangement, not a disagreement about the importance of praising God.
Eid prayer is performed in congregation on the morning of Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha. It has two rakats and is followed by a khutbah, or sermon. It is also normally performed without the adhan and iqama used to announce many regular congregational prayers.
