The Ministry of Islamic Affairs will conduct the Eid ul-Fitr prayer in the area extending from Islamic Centre to the President’s jetty in order to accommodate the larger numbers of expected attendees.
The Ministry’s Assistant Director Ahmedulla Jameel told Haveeru that carpet would be spread to allow people to pray, and that separate areas would be provided for men and women.
“We request men not to occupy the space allocated for the women to pray in,” he told the paper.
Women will be allowed to pray in the area near the Dhiraagu head office.

women should pray in their homes. should not come out.
ok..we will pray in our homes..provided that men have the decency to turn up at the mosques instead roaming around on the roads,chatting loudly&eating at tea hotels at the time of the prayer...As it is,if it were not for the women all these mosques would be almost empty....
How ignorant that women are still segregated. It's about time that the Maldives start showing the rest of the Islamic world how women and men can and should be allowed to worship (or whatever they want for that matter) in the same place as men.
