Anjuman-e-Auqaf has decided to hold Eid-ul-Fitr prayers at Jamia Masjid instead of Eidgah due to inclement weather.
“In view of inclement weather, and Eidgah Srinagar being unfit for prayers Anjuman-e-Auqaf Jama Masjid (AAJ) Srinagar has announced that Eid-ul-Fitr prayers will be offered now at the historic Jama Masjid Srinagar at 10:00 am (inshallah),” said a spokesman on Tuesday.
Prior to Eid prayers, he said, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq would shed light on the philosophy of Eid ul-Fitr in his sermon which will commence at 9:00 am.
Auqaf has urged the people to participate in the Ijtima in large numbers to show unity and maintain discipline.
