Muslims in Satkhira celebrated the holy Eid-ul-Adha in alignment with Saudi Arabia, holding their main festival congregation early this morning (27 May).
The Eid congregation was held at 7:30am at Baukhola village under Kushkhali union in Satkhira Sadar upazila, where over a hundred worshippers gathered to perform their prayers and subsequently participate in the ritual animal sacrifice.
Worshippers participating in the congregation maintained that the sighting of the new crescent moon in any part of the world validates the immediate celebration of the festival globally.
They explained that since the moon had been officially sighted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, they proceeded with their prayers and animal sacrifices in accordance with that global timeline.
The congregation saw a significant turnout of Muslims who traveled from various parts of the district to join the early prayers, including people from Tala, Patkelghata, and Kalaroa upazilas.
The special prayers were led by Maulana Mohabbat Ali, following which the participants exchanged festival greetings with one another.
