The community had never faced such a situation during Ramzan in the past but a redeeming feature of the COVID-19 induced lockdown is that it has enabled women members of families to offer prayers at home along with men, BIA Chairman Md Yahia said.

He said, “Remember that your wife, daughter, sister can offer prayers along with you. Isn’t that a welcome development?” The BIA chief also urged every Muslim to pray for a coronavirus-free world for mankind.

A spokesman of the Nakhoda Masjid, one of the prominent mosques of Kolkata, also said there will not be any gathering for prayer on the day of Eid and everyone has been asked to pray from home together with family.
