Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi will broadcast daily tarawih prayers live for Muslims to watch at home, since they will be unable to visit the mosque during Ramadan this year.
The special annual prayers, held daily during Ramadan, will be streamed live from the UAE’s largest mosque on state television channels and radio stations across the country.
An imam will lead two worshippers in prayer, instead of hundreds flocking to the mosque each night, following a decision by the Ministry of Presidential Affairs and the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments.
The UAE Fatwa Council prohibited prayer in mosques this Ramadan, to avoid large gatherings and limit the spread of Covid-19.

The two worshippers will be regularly screened for Covid-19 and must wear face masks and gloves, reported state news agency Wam.
Authorities said the decision to broadcast the prayers from the mosque were taken to preserve the spiritual atmosphere of Ramadan.
Almost 50,000 worshippers stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the prayer halls and courtyard of the mosque during tarawih over each weekend last year.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque attracted almost a million visitors over the first three weeks of Ramadan in May last year with tens of thousands of iftar meals served daily.
