India: Complete Taraweeh in short time amid Covid rules

Kanpur: As the month of Ramazan approaches fast, the devouts are thinking of additional prayers in this pious month.

Obligatory prayers five times a day remains a must for every devout Muslim but he has to offer an extra prayer of Taraweeh in the whole month.

Given the second surge of coronavirus, the restrictions are imposed during the night. So after the Isha prayer, the time for extra prayer has lessened.

The mosque Imams have decided to curtail the reading of the Holy Quran to at least one chapter. Twenty rakats can easily be completed into this much. A Hafiz can recite it in a shortened time and there will be no problem. Thus, Ibadat and Covid restrictions both will be followed, said one Imam of a masjid in tannery town here.
