Warning against Eid prayer without permit for large congregations

Ministry of Islamic Affairs has issued warning against holding Eid al-Adha prayer in islands for large congregations without permission.

Ministry of Islamic Affairs issued a circular last Sunday warning that holding the upcoming Eid al-Adha prayer in islands for large congregations will not be allowed unless island councils and organizations obtain permission from the ministry.

The ministry also said information on the imam who will lead the prayer will also need to be sent to the authority and permission obtained.

Eid prayer for large congregations was allowed earlier via permission from island councils.
