MCQ Answer

A. b & c
B. Fajar and Zohar
C. Asar and Maghrib
D. Eid and Friday Correct

Explanation

Haji Shariatullah, the founder of the Faraizi movement, declared Bengal to be Darul Harb (land of war) under British rule. He argued that because the region was no longer under Muslim governance, the conditions necessary for the performance of congregational prayers, specifically the Friday (Jumu'ah) and Eid prayers, were not met, thus exempting Muslims from these obligations.

Correct Answer

Eid and Friday
