In Hajiganj upazila of Chandpur, Maulana Abu Bakkar Siddiq led an Eid-ul-Fitr congregation with six worshippers at his home in Sadra. Siddiq, the middle son of the late Pir Maulana Ishaq Sadrabi of Sadra Darbar Sharif, performed the prayer two days before the national celebration, continuing a practice he began last year.
For decades, followers of the Sadra Darbar Sharif Pir in 40 villages of Hajiganj’s Barakul Paschim Union have celebrated Eid one day earlier than the rest of Bangladesh, aligning with Saudi Arabia. After the death of the previous Pir, disagreements emerged among his descendants. The current Pir, Mufti Arif Billah Sadrabi, and his uncle Zakaria Al Madani now hold separate Eid congregations one day early, while Abu Bakkar Siddiq observes it two days early.
Siddiq stated that Eid can be celebrated whenever the moon is sighted anywhere in the world. He said the moon was seen in Afghanistan the previous day, and Eid was observed there, prompting his group to celebrate accordingly.
