We are getting lots of questions from people asking what they should do if they miss Eid Salah, So we decided to answer their query in this article.
ANSWER:
Eid prayers (whether Eid al Fitr or Eid al Adha) are optional prayers, and if you missed it, there is no problem. But, keeping one thing in mind, praying Eid salah is a Sunnah, and praying it will earn you great rewards.
Offering Eid prayer or missing it will not cause anything to your Ramadan fasts. Although according to some scholars, if you miss Eid salah, you can pray two rakats at home (Without khutbah) to make up for that.
The important thing that people should worry about is the Sadqa and Zakat, which have to be given before Eid prayer as it is mandatory (fard); giving it is an obligatory act for every Muslim. If other family members cannot pay, you should pay it for them.

Jazak Allah Khairan Brethren at Islamic Information for the clarification.
But, in the current covid scenario, we have been offering Eid Salaah at home only for the year 2020 and looks like will do so for 2021 too.
Alternatively, we can organize a Jamaath Salaah at home, including our women and children in the family in the Jamaath, as they do not get an opportunity to do so in the normal time,
They are not allowed in Masjids or Eidgahs by many of our learned Maulvis for offering Eid Salaah which are against the Sunnah of our Beloved Prophet PBUH.
Allah Alone Knows what these people are upto
