Top Saudi religious body recommends home prayers in Ramazan

Saudi Arabia’s highest religious body, the Council of Senior Scholars has urged the Muslims worldwide to pray at home during Ramazan if their countries require social distancing to combat coronavirus, state news agency SPA reported on Sunday.

“Muslims shall avoid gatherings, because they are the main cause of the spread of infection…and shall remember that preserving the lives of people is a great act that brings them closer to God,” it said in a statement.

Earlier, the Saudi Grand Mufti Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Mohammed Al El-Sheikh had said Muslims will offer Taraweeh prayers during the month of Ramazan and Eid prayers at home if the coronavirus situation continued.
