In line with the measures adopted by the UAE to ensure the safety of its citizens and residents, the General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments and Zakat has confirmed that Eid Al-Fitr prayers will not be held this year in open prayer grounds or outdoor spaces.
The prayers will instead be confined to mosques across the country. This measure is implemented in coordination with the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai and the Department of Islamic Affairs in Sharjah.
The Authority called on all worshippers to adhere to the guidelines and to arrive early to perform the Eid prayer in mosques to ensure their safety.
