The President observed the Eid
prayers with members of his immediate family.
On his twitter handle, the President said, Even as
we mark the successful end of the Ramadan and the commemoration of Eid-el-Fitr,
we are doing so mindful the times we are in. Let us continue to reflect on the
lessons and virtues of this season and sustain them beyond the celebration. I
wish you all Eid Mubarak.
Meanwhile, there is a photo
trending on social media, where the President was seen seated, a media organization
did post this, “Why was it that @Buhari had to be given a chair to sit during
Eid Prayer today?
As a follow up on that, there
is another post by another handle, where the President did stand to observe
the prayer, while he later sat during prayers after the Imam has ended the
naflat.
A scholar in Islam said,
even if the President sat all through, it is not disallowed Islam, Muslims can
worship while standing or seated it all depends. The cleric said.
