Mosques in Ujire to not hold congregational prayers, religious activities for two more months
Belthangady: Mohiddin Jumma Masjid in Halepet, Ujire, and the mosques under the Upa Jamaat have unanimously decided not to let devotees in or hold congregational prayers and other religious activities for two more months under their premises.
The decision was taken during the Executive Committee meeting chaired by Masjid President B M Abdul Hamid Haji that the rule will be followed at the central mosque and all the six mohallas under its jurisdiction.
“Even if the government permits the opening of mosques, following the Covid-19 restrictions will be difficult especially at the central mosque, which is near the national highway. Also, since members of several families visit the mosque, controlling all such people too will be a difficult task” the committee observed.
The committee also decided to withhold the reopening of the madrasas, starting with online classes and registering students for the classes for two more months.
Administrative Committee members and representatives of the respective Jamaats attended the meeting.
