Ref: AFED/GEN/20 Date: 12th August 2020
Following the Earthquake that struck the coast of Tanzania and nearby areas at approx 20:13 hrs (EAT) on Wednesday 12th August 2020, the Africa Federation Secretariat has contacted the Jamaats affected by the Earthquake and Alhamdulillah all members of the Community are safe and no damage to infrastructure has been reported.
Namaz-e- Aayat becomes Wajib after an Earthquake. Ayatullah Seestani’s Fatwa states that,
One must perform it immediately in a way that people would not consider it delayed; and if he does delay it; the recommended precaution is that he should perform it later without making an intention of ada or qada
The Secretariat is thankful to the World Federation and members from different parts of the world who contacted us to find out on the situation.
Let us all continue to pray for the protection and safety of all members of the Community and humanity at large.
Secretariat
