“SunniOnline” has received some credible reports that the security forces had put obstacles on the ways of the central worship rooms of Sunnis including prayer rooms in Sadeqiyeh and Saa’dat-abad. It was Friday, the day of Eid al-Adha, the most important Muslim holyday, when Sunni Muslims tried to offer Eid al-Adha prayers.
A Tehran based Sunni web portal, Eslah, reported hundreds of Sunni worshippers were on their way towards the prayer room in “Sadeqiyeh” as scheduled time, but the police put impediments halting Muslims to establish Eid prayers.
It is the first time Tehran’s Sunnis have been banned to have own Eid al-Adha gathering and prayers. They had been stopped to establish Eid al-Fitr prayers for three successive years.
The Sunni community of the Iranian capital, Tehran, has been forbidden to build own mosque in the city. Tehran’s Sunnis offer congregational prayers inside leased houses.
After the ban on Eid prayers, Sunni worshippers of Tehran offered prayers in some other houses covertly.
