The directive comes amid a nationwide lockdown to slow down the spread of coronavirus.
Despite the relaxations announced in the lockdown, religious and other large gatherings are still banned.

The fatwa said the Eid namaz can be offered in the same manner that the Friday prayers are now being read at home.
It said not holding the namaz in the usual manner is pardonable in circumstances such as these.
Eid falls on May 24 or 25 this year.
