Celebrating Eid al-Fitr safely in 2021 during COVID-19
We all deserve to celebrate al-Fitr safely this year
- Maintain physical distance
Protect yourself and others during Eid al-Fitr prayers
- Use your own prayer rug and maintain physical distancing
- Choose to pray at home with close family members only
- Remember the sick in your prayers this year
As we celebrate Eid al-Fitr this year, let’s also celebrate good health. Play your part in saving lives
- Use outdoor venues or ensure good ventilation indoors with physical distancing
- Remember that virtual gatherings are safer
You can be sick but not showing symptoms, putting others at risk
- Avoid attending Eid Alfitr prayers and gatherings if you feel unwell
- Encourage friends and family who are over 60 years of age or have other health conditions to stay at home
Vaccination is a key tool to help prevent the spread of COVID-19
- Remember that the vaccine is permissible under Sharia law
- Take the COVID-19 vaccine when offered
- Even after you are vaccinated, wear a mask and practice physical distancing to protect others
