Saudi Arabia bans on Iftar in mosques, Prince Salman issues order

Saudi Arabia has banned serving iftar in mosques during Ramadan. This ban has been imposed by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs with the consent of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

According to the new order, there will be no Iftar party in the mosques of the country after sunset during Ramadan. Besides, Imams have also been banned from collecting donations for providing Iftar to the worshipers during Ramzan. The ministry said that this order has been taken with the intention of keeping the mosques clean.

The ministry banned serving iftar inside mosques to keep them clean and directed that the feast should be held at a pre-determined location in the compound. Additionally, there will be a ban on the use of cameras inside mosques to film the Imam during the prayers or to broadcast and broadcast the prayers through various media.

Meanwhile, imams have been urged to avoid prolonging Taraweeh prayers and to avoid delivering sermons beneficial to worshippers, especially sermons highlighting the rules of fasting and the virtues of the holy month of Ramadan.

Saudi Arabia wants to change the image of its country from a fundamentalist country. The main reason for this is Prince Salman's new economic policy, through which he wants to remove the oil dependence of Saudi Arabia's economy by 2030.
