FOREIGN UMRAH PILGRIMS VISIT PROPHET’S MOSQUE AFTER EIGHT MONTHS (PHOTOS)

Tue 10 November 2020:

The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Prophet’s Mosque has shared photos of the foreign pilgrims who have arrived in Medina and visited the mosque, reported by Youm7.com.

They, along the domestic worshippers who regularly visit the mosque, are required to observe the health protocols, such as by wearing masks, to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

 

Under the third phase of gradual resumption of Umrah, 160 to 170 Muslims are allowed to visit the Prophet’s Mosque at a time, the Deputy President of the Affairs of the Prophet’s Mosque Mohammed al-Khodari said Monday.

Approximately, 4,000 to 5,000 Muslims visited the mosque by the end of the day, al-Khodari said.

Before November 1, only pilgrims within Saudi Arabia were permitted to perform Umrah and visit the Two Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina.

Eatmarna app

To be allowed into the mosque’s quarters, all visitors must first register through the Eatmarna application to obtain a permit.

The visitor can request permission and choose a specific time they wish to perform a prayer at the Prophet’s Mosque on the app.

The app is meant to prevent crowding and long waiting lines for those who wish to enter the mosque.
