Muslims around the world are keen to perform the Eid mass prayers at mosques before coming together to celebrate the holy Muslim occasion by exchanging gifts or sharing meals. We all deserve to celebrate Eid al-Fitr safely this year. In these trying times, let us use opportunities like Eid al-Fitr to spread love, gratitude and hope. We can do this by performing our Eid al-Fitr prayers alone or with the family at home, as announced last year by Al Azhar and Dar Al Iftaa,” the statement continued. The WHO stressed the importance of adhering to physical social distancing, by avoiding congratulations through physical contact and avoiding banquets and other social gatherings.
