The Undersecretary at the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic affairs, Farid Emadi, announced that only men will be allowed to attend tarawih prayers during Ramadan.
Emadi stated that to reduce the capacity of prayers in mosques the women’s prayer hall will be reserved for men only.
There will be no hosting of external sheikhs and preachers in line with the health as procedures that are in line with the decisions put in place by the Cabinet of Ministers.
He added that Kuwait’s Grand Mosque will be open for tarawih and qiyam prayers but will also be only accessible to men.
Though Kuwait enforced a partial curfew a month ago, those looking to pray at mosques during the curfew hours are able to attend as long as they travelled to the mosque on foot.
