Like previous year, the main Eid-ul-Azha congregation (jamaat) will be held at the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, not at the Jatiya Eidgah Maidan, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Islamic Foundation issued a handout on Sunday and revealed the schedule.

Hafez Mufti Mawlana Mizanur Rahman will conduct the first jamaat at 7am on Wednesday (July 21). 

Four other congregations will also be held at 8am, 9am, 10am, and 10:45am respectively. 

The Eid congregations will be held maintaining government-set health guidelines at the national mosque.

Usually, the main Eid congregation is held at the Jatiya Eidgah Maidan every year, if the weather remains in favour.

Devotees will have to brought prayer mats and scalp caps from home and wore masks. Besides, arrangements will be made at the entrances of the mosques for washing hands.

They will also be refrained from handshaking and hugging after the prayer, a common practice throughout the Muslim world.
