Only Major Mosques in Egypt to Host Eid Al-Fitr Prayers: Awqaf Minister

TEHRAN (IQNA) – This year’s Eid al-Fitr prayers will be organized only at grand, and central mosques in Egypt, the country’s minister of Awqaf (Endowments) said.

Mohamed Mokhtar Gomaa said in a tweet that no Eid prayers will be organized at the streets like pre-pandemic years.

He also said that all protective measures against COVID-19 will be in place.

The National Research Institute of Astronomy & Geophysics (NRIAG) said earlier this week that this Ramadan will be a 30-day-month according to the results of the institute’s latest astronomical studies.

Therefore, the beginning of Eid al-Fitr will fall on May 2, and its prayer will be at 5:37 Cairo time, it said.
