Authorities in the UAE have announced that Eid Al Fitr prayers will be held exclusively inside mosques this year, with open-air prayer grounds and public spaces not permitted. The decision is part of wider measures aimed at ensuring the safety and wellbeing of worshippers during the holiday.
Officials clarified that restricting prayers to mosques allows for better organisation and crowd management, reducing potential risks associated with large outdoor gatherings. Worshippers are expected to follow official guidance and attend designated mosques for prayers, which typically take place shortly after sunrise on the day of Eid.
