Praying Eid prayer alone due to a Shariah reason:
❀ Abu Tarfa Rahimahullah says:
أتينا المقدام بن معدي كرب وهو فى قرية على أميال يوم عيد فقلنا اخرج فصل بنا العيد قال لا صلوا فرادى
On the day of Eid, we went to Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Maadi Karib رضي الله عنه, who was residing in a village several miles away from the city. We said to him, "Please come and lead us in the Eid prayer." He said, "(Do not pray in congregation) rather each one should pray individually."

Hafiz Zahbi Rahimahullah says about Abad bin Al-Rayan Abu Tarfa Rahimahullah:
ما علمت فيه جرحا فهو صالح الحديث
