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.
