COVID-19: ISLAMIC SCHOLARS ADMONISHES MUSLIMS TO PRAY AT HOME DURING RAMADAN.
As Muslims worldwide prepares for the Annual Ramadan fast set to hold this week, Saudi Arabia’s Council of Senior Scholars has enjoined Muslims around the world to pray at home if they reside in countries that have imposed lockdowns or curfews to curb the coronavirus outbreak.
The Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday that the authorities advised Muslims to partake in their religious practices, such as praying but refrain from causing harm to others.
“Muslims should set an example by performing their religious duties while adhering to the preventative and precautionary measures issued by relevant authorities in the countries they live in,” the council admonished in a statement.
“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,” the council noted.
