The former minister and MP, Mohamed Noah Al-Qudah, said in statements to Roya Friday, that mosques in Jordan are a turning point and a should become a model of commitment to coronavirus related measures.

Qudah emphasized the importance of presenting the ideal model for commitment in mosques as a turning point in society.

The statements came after Friday prayers at the King Abdullah Mosque in Amman.

March 10, Friday prayers were no longer permitted by the government following a sharp uptick in COVID-19 cases in the Kingdom, and on April 18, Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh decided to reinstate the decision allowing citizens to perform Friday prayers in mosques on foot for a period of one hour, during a session with the Council of Ministers.

Notably, the time allocation for Friday prayers in mosques will be determined by the Minister of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Places, Muhammad Al-Khalaileh on a weekly basis, provided that worshipers adhere to the approved health protocols.
