Cairo: Dhuhur prayers were allowed inside Bahrain’s mosques for the first time in about 8 months.
This step occurs more than two months after Fajr’s prayers resumed in the kingdom’s mosques to a progressive plan amid strict precautions against coronavirus.
The Sunni Endowment Department said in a recent circular that allowing Dhuhur prayers comes with the reopening of mosques for Friday prayers in congregations or to conduct Dhuhur that day.
The time between the call to prayer and the start of prayers does not exceed 10 minutes, respecting all precautions contrary to COVID-19, the branch added.
Bahrain closed the mosques on 23 March as part of a package of government-followed measures to stop the coronavirus.
At the end of August, Fajr’s prayers were allowed first in the kingdom’s mosques.
Devotees were suggested to remain at least two metres from the other. Mosques are open 10 minutes before prayer time, and crowds are prohibited from entering and exiting.
The faithful are also forbidden to remain in mosques after prayers.
The sick, women and young people under the age of 15 can move to mosques, while the elderly are be asked to love at home.
The faithful must perform ablutions before praying in the house before going to the mosque, as the bathrooms remain closed in the places of worship.
Mosque worshippers should also wear masks and use their prayer mats.
