Bahrain Assigns 32 Mosques for Friday Prayers During Ramadan

The Sunni Endowments Directorate has designated 32 mosques across Bahrain as jamea mosques for Ramadan, allowing them to hold Friday prayers throughout the holy month. The move aims to accommodate more worshippers and ease congestion in larger mosques.

Dr. Shaikh Rashid bin Mohammed bin Futais Al Hajri, Chairman of the Sunni Endowments Council, highlighted the council’s dedication to ensuring smooth worship experiences during Ramadan. He also expressed gratitude to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for their ongoing support of religious initiatives.
