Morocco Bans Eid Al Adha Prayers in Mosques Amid COVID-19 Concerns
The Moroccan government, due to the latest discoveries of infection clusters, does not want to take any risks. In this regard, the Ministry of Endowments has wished that the Eid Al Adha prayer be organized at home and not in the mosques.
Contrary to previous years, Muslims will not be able to access mosques to attend the Eid Al Adha prayer, preceding the sacrifice of the sheep.
In a statement, the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs noted that prevention against coronavirus does not allow the Eid Al Adha prayer to be performed in mosques or Mosallas. Consequently, it must take place at home while respecting the health measures decreed by the government.
As part of the preventive measures to fight against Covid-19, the government had authorized, on Friday, July 15, the reopening of mosques, after 4 months of confinement. All prayers were allowed there except for Friday prayers.
