Eid-ul-Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramzan, will be celebrated on Thursday or Friday depending on the sighting of the new moon. This will be announced by the religious head as soon as the sight on the moon.
Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi said the leaders took a collective decision that in view of the lockdown and the government order for closure of all places of worship, ‘Namaz-e-Eid’ should be offered at home.
“Three to four persons will offer prayers in mosques because we can’t leave mosques deserted but all others should pray at home,” Owaisi said. He called for strictly observing all Covid guidelines like wearing masks and maintaining social distance.
Asaduddin Owaisi said that the lockdown will hit poor people hard. “I have always been against lockdowns but this is a high court order and the government has also issued a GO,” he said.
The Hyderabad MP popular as Owaisi appealed to the people to make special prayers during their Eid prayers at home for an end to the pandemic for the sake of entire humanity.
