Govt Clarifies Rumors on Aitekaf Ban This Year
The Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Religious Harmony and the Middle East, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi, has clarified that there is no ban on the observance Aitekaf in mosques across Pakistan.
He rebuffed the rumors about a ban on Aitekaf that are circulating on social media as he addressed a news conference in Islamabad.
Ashrafi said that instead of banning Aitkaf, the government will issue COVID-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) to curtail the transmission of the coronavirus among those observing Aetikaf.
