RIYADH — Minister of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance Sheikh Abdullatif Al-Sheikh has directed the ministry’s branches across the Kingdom to hold the Eid Al-Fitr prayer in all designated Eid prayer grounds 15 minutes after sunrise.

The prayers will also take place in all mosques, except those adjacent to Eid prayer grounds and those not frequented for the Eid prayer in certain villages and towns, as residents will use their local Eid prayer grounds instead.

The minister’s directives instruct early preparation for the Eid prayer throughout the Kingdom, ensuring that all necessary services at prayer areas, including maintenance, cleanliness, and operation, are in place to provide a comfortable and tranquil experience.

Currently, the Kingdom hosts 19,887 mosques and prayer grounds, all of which have been fully prepared with carpeting, maintenance, and cleanliness, adhering to the highest quality standards to create a spiritually uplifting atmosphere.
