Sheik Dr. Abdurrahman bin Abdulaziz Al Sudais, president general of the Two Holy Mosques, has said that the duration of Taraveeh prayers has been reduced to ten Rakaat, which were offered in Masjidal Al Haram and Masjid-e Nabwi (SAW).
Taraveeh special night prayers performed during the holy month of Ramazan will be held without public attendance at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s (SAW) Mosque, said Abdurrahman Al Sudais in a statement.
Taraveeh will be performed mainly with the staff, he said. The statement also said Aitikaf had been cancelled at both the mosques. It also said that Umrah pilgrimage will remain suspended until further notice.
