The Ministry of Awqaf (Endowments) and Islamic Affairs has directed mosques to close and suspend the five obligatory congregational prayers and Friday prayers, starting from noon prayers across Qatar today for the safety and wellbeing of worshippers and as a preventive and precautionary measure to limit the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19).
The ministry said in a statement that the call to prayer will continue to be made in all state mosques, while the ministry will continue to communicate with the competent authorities to reopen the mosques as soon as the danger of the spread of the coronavirus epidemic is no longer present. QNA
