Hyderabad: Muslims pray in the rain as drizzle stays

HYDERABAD: Many Muslims offered Id-ul-Zuha prayers in the rain at mosques and idgahs across the city on Tuesday. Shariff Tajuddin Ahmed, an engineer, said, “Rain caused a bit of inconvenience during the morning prayer hours. For Bakrid, the prayer timings are early, at around 6.30 am.

On Monday night, several city areas received much rain and a drizzle was on throughout Tuesday. The mosque at Tolichowki, like many others in the city, cannot accommodate large crowds, so we prayed outside — in the rain.” Many also offered prayers in the rain at Mehdipatnam, Asifnagar, Karvan, Tappachabutra and Charminar.
