Nowhere is it said that they have to visit mosques or throng the streets. Stay in your homes and pray. Take all precautions."In normal times, the faithful in thousands gather at the Jama Masjid, while hundreds throng the streets outside and indulge in even sloganeering. However, this time, the country is facing the coronavirus crisis and we have to be careful."Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind leader Mahmood Madni has also appealed to the Muslims in India to remain indoors and pray and read the Quran. He emphasised the need to maintain social distancing and said nothing that endangers personal safety and violates the law of the land and 'shariyat' should be done.The Delhi Police had also on Sunday advised people not to come out of their homes to celebrate Shab-e-Barat in view of the coronavirus crisis and warned of stern action against lockdown violators.( With inputs from IANS )
