RIYADH — The Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance has directed to perform Eid Al-Fitr prayers in mosques, and not on the external prayer areas in the governorates and cities where rain is expected to fall.

The Ministry' direction came due to the forecasts of expected rainfall in most regions of Saudi Arabia on the day of Eid Al-Fitr.

It has asked its branches to follow up on weather forecasts that will be issued by the National Center of Meteorology (NCM).

In the same context, the Department of Mosques, Call and Guidance in Taif Governorate has announced the performance of Eid Al-Fitr prayer.

The Department of Mosques, Call and Guidance in Taif Governorate announced the holding of Eid prayers in mosques that it had previously announced, after it could not hold prayers in external prayer areas due to weather conditions.

It is worth mentioning that NCM had previously expected thunderstorms to continue in most regions of Saudi Arabia until the first days of Shawwal month.
