Mufti Taqi Usmani has said that daily prayers will be held in mosques while taking all precautionary measures. Speaking after a meeting of ulema at the Karachi Press Club today, Mufti Usmani urged the elderly to pray at home but said prayers would be held at mosques. "There will be proper space in the rows of people who pray," he added.

Mufti Muneeb-ur Rehman said that the lockdown was not "applicable" to mosques and arrangements would be made for Friday prayers and tarawih in Ramazan.
