All those people, who kept 28 fast should keep one extra fast to complete 29 fasts
Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 8th June, 2019) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) will observe a ‘Qaza fast’ to compensate for the fast missed by celebrating Eid a day earlier.
Provincial Minister for Information and Public Relations, Shaukat Yousafzai said the KP Government has announced to keep a 'Qaza fast' as compensation of the fast missed in the begging of Ramzan in order to complete 29 fast of the holy month of Ramzan.
"All those people, who kept 28 fast should keep one extra fast to complete 29 fasts," he said, adding this decision has been taken with consultation of Ulema Karam.
"We have started fasting as per the announcement of Chairman Central Ruet-i-Hilal Committee Muneeb-ur-Rehman but beginning the fast a day earlier would have been more accurate," the minister said, adding we will fast for one extra day as compensation for the missed fast.
“Before Eid, I made it clear to keep one more fast as compensation," he said, adding we have seen celebration of three Eid-ul-Fitr on same year during last 15 to 20 years and it was because that no attention was paid to Ruet issue in the past.
"Ruet Hilal Committee did not ask from us why three-three Eids are being celebrated in KP."
Meanwhile, Chairman Qasim Ali Khan Mosque, Mufti Shahuddin Populzai endorsed the decision of KP Government for keeping one extra fast and termed it right decision to complete 29 fast of Ramzan.
