The first namaz-e-janaza of late Land and Civil Aviation Adviser AF Hassan Ariff was held at Baitul Aman Masjid in Dhanmondi following the Isha prayer, with Chief Adviser Prof. Muhammad Yunus in attendance.
The second namaz-e-janaza will take place at the High Court premises around 11:00 am on Saturday.
Hassan Ariff will be buried based on a decision made by his daughter, who is expected to return home from abroad on December 22, family sources said.
He passed away while undergoing treatment at Labaid Specialized Hospital in Dhaka this afternoon. He breathed his last around 3:30 pm at the hospital due to a massive cardiac arrest, according to family sources.
“My father was feeling sick and suddenly collapsed on the floor this afternoon. At once, we took him to Labaid Hospital where doctors declared him dead,” Ariff’s son Moaz Ariff said.
