Darul Uloom Deoband Issues Fatwa Supporting Eid Prayers at Home

In support of the worldwide lockdown, the Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a decree asking Muslims to offer Eid prayers at homes.

The spokesperson of the institution said that the decision has been made to remove the growing frustration among the Muslims of India over the offering of Eid prayers.

Darul Uloom Deoband holds a dominant position in the subcontinent and this decree will help the country that is severely affected by the coronavirus. With more than 100,000 thousand positive cases, India is the worst-hit country in South Asia.
