They had brought the change to offer convenience to children, women, elderly person, and persons with disabilities who attended these prayers which are often held in large, open fields, and hence were susceptible to over heating.
The statement noted that Prophet Muhammadh had also practiced eid prayers before the heat of the sun became too intense, around sunrise.
