“We ask Allah the Almighty to accept Taraweeh prayers whether held at mosques, or homes, which we think is better for people’s health. We ask Allah the Almighty to accept prayers from all of us and protect humanity from this epidemic that hit the entire world,” Saudi Minister of Islamic Affairs Dr Abdul Latif Al-Sheikh stated.
In Pakistan, the lockdown has been decided by the government to be eased during Ramadan and mosques to be opened for Taraweehs, however, the SOPs for COVID-19 is expected to be followed.
