In the Osmancık district of Çorum, the Mawlid program, whose permission was obtained, could not be held because Osmancık Mufti Eyyüp Aydın did not inform the imams. Felicity (Saadet) Party Osmancık District President Halil İbrahim İnoğlu, who made a statement to the Milli Gazete about the situation, stated that they got permission from the necessary places for the Mawlid, and then they made announcements throughout the district, saying, “Although we talked to the mufti over the phone, he did not inform the responsible imams about the Mawlid we had informed," he said.
“INFORMATION ABOUT MAWLID WAS NOT GIVEN DESPITE PERMISSIONS”
The mawlid program for the late National Vision (Milli Görüş) leader Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan could not be realized despite obtaining the permissions. Saadet Party Osmancık District President Halil İbrahim İnoğlu, regarding the planned Mawlid program, said, “The Mawlid program that we planned to perform last Friday and we got permission from the necessary places in Osmancık, It could not be held because Mufti Eyyüp Aydın did not inform the authorized imams. But we got our permission from the necessary places, we talked to him, and he stated that they would give us the necessary help.”
“WHEN WE CAME TO THE MOSQUE WITHIN THE PERMITTED TIME, WE LEARNED THE SITUATION”
İnoğlu stated that after the permissions were obtained, announcements about the Mawlid were made within the scope of the district, “We came together in large numbers at the Büyük Mosque, where the lailat-ul-Mawlid is planned to be held. Then, when the appointed time for the Mawlid came, the event broke out. We, as the National Vision members, thank our citizens who filled the mosque, but we refer those who prevent the Mawlid to Allah,” İnoğlu added.
