How to offer Fajr and Isha prayer in Masjid during curfew?
Starting from May 31, the Non-Curfew hours will be from 6 am to 8 pm. It also means that Fajr and Isha prayer will be performed during curfew hours. A question arises, how can we offer Fajr and Isha prayer in mosques during curfew?
The Ministry of Interior has allowed movement within the neighborhood during Fajr and Isha prayer so that people can perform it in Masjid.
