Riyadh: The government of Saudi Arabia has removed a big condition for performing Eid prayers in the two holy shrines.
The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has issued a new order regarding the performance of Eid prayers in the two holy shrines (Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabawi). According to the decree, no permission will be required to perform Eid-ul-Fitr prayers in Masjid-ul-Haram and Masjid-e-Nabawi and all persons will be able to offer Eid prayers in both mosques.
The ministry says no permit will be required to enter the Masjid al-Haram, but a permit must be obtained through the Eatmama application to perform Umrah.
On the other hand, the Saudi Supreme Court has appealed to the citizens of the kingdom to observe the Shawwal moon on Saturday, April 30.
