Mufti Muneeb demanded that bills of mosques and other religious institutions should be forgiven.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Pakistan’s leading Ulema have announced that lockdown will no longer apply on mosques and congregational prayers will be offered.
Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, while addressing a press conference along with Mufti Taqi Usmani, Allama Rashid Soomro, Maulana Anas Noorani and other Ulema of various schools of thought said lockdown will no longer apply to mosques because PM Imran Khan has advised to consider ground realities while following lockdown.
Mufti Muneeb said that all prayers including daily prayers, Friday prayers and Taraaweeh will be offered in congregation. However, he urged elderly and sick people to avoid coming to mosques.
He also demanded that bills of mosques and religious institutions should be forgiven and urged the state to help and support Muslims all over the country.
Mufti Taqi Usmani said that the entire nation should unite to play its role and announced that mosques will remain open with precautionary measures. Carpets should be removed from mosques and sanitizers should be placed on entrance of mosques. He also advised people to keep distance between rows.
