Hold Eid Jamaat at mosques instead of Eidgahs: govt
DHAKA, May 14, 2020 (BSS) – The government has asked the authorities
concerned to hold Eid Jamaat (congregation) of the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr at
nearby mosques instead of Eidgahs or open space aiming to contain the spread
of coronavirus.
In a circular issued today, the Religious Affairs Ministry also asked the
Muslim devotees not to hug each other after Eid-ul-Fitr prayers.
If necessary, the authorities concerned are also asked to arrange several
Eid Jamaats at a single mosque.
Carpet could not be rolled out on mosque floors for Eid prayers. The
mosques must be cleaned using disinfectant water. Soap or hand sanitizers
must be put in places designated for ablution, the circular said.
Every devotee must come to the mosques after performing ablution at their
respective homes. All the devotees are urged to wash their hands for at least
20 minutes during their ablutions.
The devotees must use masks while offering Eid prayers and they cannot use
caps and prayer shits (Jainamaz) of the mosques, added the circular.
