DHAKA, April 29, 2020 (BSS) – The Islamic Foundation (IF) today urged all
television channels not to broadcast the Tarabi prayers live in the holy
month of Ramadan.
Recently, it has been observed that some Muslim devotees are offering
Tarabi prayers at their respective homes following the prayers, conducted by
imams at different mosques, aired by TV channels live, which is misleading
the people about Tarabi prayers, an IF press release said.
According to the Islamic Shariah rules, standing in queues together under
an imam is mandatory for devotees to offer prayers in a jamaat
(congregation).
Islamic scholars also stated that Islam does not allow Muslims to offer
Tarabi prayers following the live prayers on TV channels.
Considering this, the release said, the Islamic Foundation requests the
television channels not to broadcast the Tarabi prayers and other prayers
live.
