Photos: Muslims pray in UAE after mosques closed due to COVID-19

Mosques look set to reopen soon, but until they do, worshipers, such as this gentleman in Sharjah, continue to offer their prayers wherever they can.

Congregations inside mosques were stopped in a bid to curve the spread of COVID-19. Here we see worshippers praying outside a mosque in Sharjah while maintaining social distance protocols.

Some mosques could re-open by Sunday according to social media posts on Wednesday which showed preparations and precautionary measures in full swing meaning worshippers will no longer have to pray outside.

But there is no official word as of yet as to when mosques in the UAE will actually re-open…

As a precaution against the coronavirus outbreak, all mosques and other places of worship across the country were closed in mid-March.

No date for reopening the doors of mosques to the public has been announced yet by the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department...

But, guidelines for reopening mosques have started appearing showing dos and don'ts.
