COVID-19 lockdown: Ahead of Ramzan, Islamic Centre of India and Imam of Aishbagh Eidgah issue advisory

Ramzan or Ramadan 2020 is just a few days away and ahead of it, Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangi Mahali, the chairperson of the Islamic Centre of India and the Imam of Aishbagh Eidgah has issued an advisory to people on how to observe Ramzan during the lockdown.

The Sunni cleric, who is a member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), issued the advisory as the holy month of Ramzan is likely to begin from April 25. The lockdown may also be extended beyond April 14.

“In this case, it is advised that people observe roza (fast) and do iftar (meal to break the fast) in the evenings at their homes. There should be no congregational prayers in the mosque but only at homes. Only those who stay or are staying at a mosque should pray there and that too while maintaining adequate social distance,” said Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangi Mahali in a video message.

The cleric, in the 12-point advisory, has asked people to fast as is mandatory in Islam and to pray for the end of the pandemic, during the month of worship.

The advisory says that those who used to arrange for iftar of poor and needy persons at the mosque, should continue to do so this year as well but the food should be distributed to the needy.

“Those who conducted Iftar parties in Ramzan should give the money kept for it in charity. Not more than five people should be present at any time at a mosque,” the cleric added.

For the uninitiated, earlier on April 8 and April 9, both Shia and Sunni clerics had appealed to the people to stay indoors and pray on the occasion of Shab-e-Baraat, respectively.
