The Ministry of Islamic Affairs will conduct the Eid ul-Fitr prayer in the area extending from Islamic Centre to the President’s jetty in order to accommodate the larger numbers of expected attendees.
The Ministry’s Assistant Director Ahmedulla Jameel told Haveeru that carpet would be spread to allow people to pray, and that separate areas would be provided for men and women.
“We request men not to occupy the space allocated for the women to pray in,” he told the paper.
Women will be allowed to pray in the area near the Dhiraagu head office.
