Kuwait Cemeteries See Crowds As Families Pay Tribute On Eid
KUWAIT CITY, June 6: From the early hours of the morning on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, the air resonated with the unified takbirs and praises of God Almighty, marking the end of Ramadan and the beginning of one of the most cherished festivals in the Islamic calendar. As prayers were offered and greetings exchanged, families across the country embraced long-standing traditions of visiting relatives and strengthening the ties of kinship — a deeply rooted custom that defines the spirit of Eid. Eid is not only a time for festive gatherings and communal joy but also an opportunity for reflection and remembrance. Islam encourages believers to uphold familial and social connections, extending even to those who have passed away. For many, the holiday becomes a moment to visit the graves of departed loved ones — family members, friends, and close companions — offering prayers and recitations from the Holy Quran for their souls. In cities and towns across the nation, cemeteries saw a significant number of visitors who came to pay their respects. Families stood by gravesides, reciting Al-Fatihah and other verses, seeking forgiveness and mercy for those who are no longer with them. Despite the passage of years, the memories of those who shared past Eids remained vivid in the hearts of their loved ones. The act of visiting graves during Eid is a gesture of spiritual continuity and devotion, a way to honor the deceased while reaffirming faith. It is a reminder that love and connection endure beyond life, and that remembrance is a sacred part of celebration.

‘Eid prayer does not exempt people from Friday prayers'
KUWAIT CITY, June 4: The Assistant Undersecretary for the Fatwa and Sharia Research Sector at the Ministry of Islamic Affairs has clarified the religious opinion regarding the Friday (Jumu'ah) prayer when Eid coincides with a Friday, reports Al-Seyassah daily. In an official statement, he explained that, according to the majority of Islamic jurists, performing the Eid prayer does not exempt Muslims from the obligation of attending the Friday prayer. The Friday prayer must still be performed at its designated time. Some jurists hold the view that those who have already performed the Eid prayer may forgo the Friday prayer and instead perform the regular Dhuhr prayer, based on reports that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did the same. If a person serves as an imam, he must lead the Friday prayer for those who attend the mosque. The Fatwa and Sharia Research Sector confirmed in a statement that the matter allows for flexibility, and both options are considered valid. Those who prefer ease may suffice with the Eid prayer and perform Dhuhr instead of Jumu'ah, while those who choose to observe both the Eid and Friday prayers out of caution are also acting correctly. Meanwhile, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and Head of the Kuwaiti Hajj Mission Dr. Bader Al-Mutairi announced that all 8,000 Kuwaiti pilgrims, organized into 60 groups, have safely arrived in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reports Al-Seyassah daily. In a statement to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), Dr. Al-Mutairi confirmed that mission teams from various participating agencies are working tirelessly at the holy sites to ensure the highest levels of comfort, safety, and care for Kuwaiti pilgrims. He stated that preparations at Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah were completed well in advance, which reflects the mission's dedication to providing an organized and secure environment. Dr. Al-Mutairi urged all Kuwaiti pilgrims to strictly follow the instructions issued by the official Saudi authorities.
