With Covid rules laid down for a safe Ramadan, mosques across the country are now getting ready to welcome worshippers throughout the holy month.
Unlike last year when places of worship were closed as part of Covid measures, this year’s socially distanced Ramadan will see the faithful offer their Taraweeh prayers at mosques.
Talking about the preparations ahead of the holy month, Nouf Al Shehhi, spokesperson of Awqaf, said mosques would continue to abide by all preventive measures to perform the prayers. They will also ensure that there will be no Iftar meal distribution within their premises.
