Prophet’s Mosque to open gradually from end of May

Jakarta (Indonesia Window) – The Government of Saudi Arabia has announced that the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah will be gradually opened to the public starting Sunday (May 31).

Arab News reported that mosques throughout the kingdom, except those in Makkah, will be opened to the public on Sunday as part of easing curfew restrictions in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

The Saudi minister of Islamic affairs announced on Friday the readiness of the Kingdom’s mosques to welcome worshippers after he completed field trips to check on necessary preparations.

“Throughout our inspection trips, we found our mosques to have completed preparations and are in the best condition,” Abdullatif bin Abdulaziz Al-Sheikh said.
