Egypt decided to impose a number of restrictions during the holy month of Ramadan due to the recent surge in Covid-19 cases, including preventive measures at mosques.
While Tarawih prayers will be allowed during the holy month, they must be reduced to no more than half an hour.
Also charity iftar tables, Tahajjud, night prayer and staying for days in mosques for worshiping will be banned. Any large gatherings inside mosques, including celebrations and funerals, are also not allowed.
Cairo: Hundreds of mourners attended the funeral of Ahmed Taha Rayan, a member of the Council of Senior Clerics at Al Azhar, who had died Wednesday, Egyptian media reported.
Rayan, a prominent professor of Islamic jurisprudence, was 82. He passed away due to complications from COVID-19 that he had contracted days earlier, according to media reports.
Hundreds of devotees had gathered in the courtyard of Al Azhar Mosque in Cairo to attend a funeral prayer before his burial.
Sheikh of Al Azhar Ahmed Al Tayyeb mourned Rayan, calling him a “scholarly lamp”.
“The late scholar spared no effort in serving Islam and Muslims, leaving behind for the Azhar and Islamic libraries a big legacy in the field of Islamic jurisprudence,” Al Azhar Sheikh added in a statement.
