Q
Dear scholar, in light of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, how should we offer Eid Al-Adha prayer?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
1- Offering Eid Al-Adha prayer in light of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic depends on your location. If the mosques are open and you are following the guideline of health authorities, you can offer Eid Al-Adha prayer in congregation with other fellow Muslims.
2- If mosques are closed in your city, then you can pray Eid Al-Adha at home individually or collectively with the family.
