First Taraweeh prayer of Ramadan 2020 offered at Prophet's Mosque
(Web Desk) - The first Taraweeh prayer on the first night of the holy month of Ramadan was offered at the Prophet’s Mosque with the continued suspension of entry of worshipers due to coronavirus pandemic.
The reduced version of the Taraweeh prayer comprising five 10 Rak’ahs, which was earlier approved by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, was attended by employees and workers of the General Presidency of the Two Holy Mosques’ Affairs.
The Prophet’s Mosque authority has provided all care and attention while putting in place preventive measures in and around the mosque in coordination with the various departments and relevant authorities.
The authority has also intensified cleaning and disinfection operations with environmentally friendly sterilizers and detergents of high quality that do not affect public health.
