Saudi Arabia: Ban On Streaming Live Prayers From Mosques During Ramadan
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Islamic Affairs has prohibited mosques from broadcasting live sermons during Ramadan, reports the state-owned press agency SPA.
As a result, Imams and worshippers are not allowed to film each other during prayers in mosques, and livestreaming of prayers is not allowed.
In the run-up to the holy month of fasting, the ministry released a series of guidelines. Organizations intending to hold iftar events must submit applications to the ministry and obtain permits. The report also recommended that non-government organisations that provide iftar meals to mosque worshippers during Ramadan coordinate with mosque imams.
Iftar parties held by private groups and individuals must comply with the ministry's standard guidelines and regulations, including not being extravagant or wasteful in the distribution of food, the ministry said in a statement.
Meals must also be obtained from shops licensed by the municipality. It is their responsibility to collect the iftar meals donated in kind from the approved stores.
Iftar programs requiring Dawa (preaching) must be licensed by the organizations planning to hold them.
Organizers of iftar parties must adhere to specifications and standards set by the authorities for tents before holding iftar parties during Ramadan. As well as this, they must adhere to the instructions and permits issued by the Ministry of Civil Defence and the competent authorities regarding the set up of Ramadan tents.
As the ministry added, the guidelines will also apply to non-ministerial organizations wishing to conduct iftar meal projects in mosques throughout the Kingdom.
