The Ministry of Local Government has called on the public to observe Eid al-Adha in a manner consistent with Islamic guidelines.

In a statement on Monday, the ministry said that Eid al-Adha is a significant occasion for the Maldives and for the global Islamic community.

According to the ministry, communities in Maldives have traditionally marked the occasion through communal celebrations. These activities have played a role in strengthening social bonds and reinforcing unity.

The ministry noted that observing Eid within Islamic boundaries remains a priority under the administration of President Mohamed Muizzu. It also stated that the government supports the organisation of Eid-related events and sports activities in local communities, provided they align with Islamic teachings and standards.
