We should do our utmost to prevent the spread of the virus, not to infect people. Gathering people in mosques can also be dangerous. In order to prevent this, the leadership of the Caucasian Muslims Office and Gazi Council adopted a  decision to temporarily postpone Friday, congregational, and holiday prayers in mosques. The quarantine regime continues. Therefore, people can perform Eid prayers in their own homes individually. We hope we will again perform holiday prayers in mosque congregations next year.”
