| Friday sermons to be delivered on select topics, following approval |
| 2018-03-26 |
| [DAWN] Friday sermons will now be delivered after they have been approved by the capital administration, which will also monitor them, officials said on Saturday. The administration had initially decided to issue written sermons to mosques and imambargahs in the city, they said. Scholars from various sectors and administrators of places of worship were called for a meeting with the capital administration in this regard. The idea was largely opposed by scholars, administrators and prayer leaders, officials said, as a number of mosques and imambargahs are not supervised by the administration but by the Auqaf department. However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... it was later decided that sermons would only be delivered on matters selected by the administration, which were shared with the scholars and prayer leaders, who agreed. |
