Hanfia Masjid (Old B.C. Govt Flats) is a neighbourhood mosque located in Resham Ghar Colony, Jammu and appears in local mosque listings and community directories as a well-rated place of worship (about 4.9/5 in local listings). � The designation Hanfia typically refers to mosques following the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence, which is widely practiced in northern India. The mosque serves primarily as a site for the five daily prayers (Salaat), Friday Jumma prayers, and other community religious gatherings, especially during major Islamic festivals like Eid. It functions as an active spiritual centre for the residents of Resham Ghar Colony and nearby localities in Jammu city, integrating into the everyday religious life of the neighbourhood. While specific historical records (such as the mosque’s exact year of establishment or founder) are not widely published in formal historical sources, its frequent use and high local ratings suggest it has been an important part of the area’s religious fabric for some time.
