With the arrival of Muharram and the holding of religious ceremonies in the country, a number of residents and religious scholars in the east of Kabul city say that the Taliban group has allowed only 10 mosques and takiye houses (places of worship) to hold mourning ceremonies In the area of the CharQala of Wazirabad, Kabul.
Religious scholars say that the restrictions on holding religious ceremonies have greatly worried the people. They want the Taliban group to remove the imposed restrictions as soon as possible so that citizens can participate in mourning ceremonies like in previous years.
In the new order, the Taliban restricted the celebration of Muharram and cited the reason for this as a security issue.
At the same time, the Council of Shiite Ulema held an extraordinary meeting and demanded the removal of restrictions on Muharram from the Taliban group.
