The Muslim Council of Britain said many of the usual festivities, including large indoor gatherings, will not be possible due to the Covid-19 restrictions in place across the UK.

However, people can still take part in Covid-19-safe Eid prayers at their local mosque as some remain open with social distancing measures in place.

Two families or groups of six can also gather outdoors.Before the Covid pandemic, Muslims would celebrate Eid by having big gatherings and feasts.

Aya Bdaiwi, 30, communications manager at Faiths Forum for London, said: “They might buy new clothes and exchange presents – especially for the younger family members.

“There’s always some sort of tradition that runs through each family.”

Eid will be different this year all around the world as Muslims emark on quieter celebrations.
