Earlier, Awqaf confirmed that the decision regarding closure of mosques and the temporary suspension of congregational prayers as part of the precautionary and preventive measures against the spread of COVID-19 will continue. The decision remains in effect and applies to Eid Al-Fitr for the year 1441 AH.
