Eid al Adha: UAE authorities clarify prayers, livestock sacrifice, family visits
The UAE National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority clarified on Wednesday (July 22) safety and precautionary measures for Eid al Adha this year.
Eid al Adha prayers will be performed at home as mosques will only increase their worshipper capacity, to 50%, from August 3. Safe distancing measures and other precautionary steps must still be adhered to, reported state news agency WAM citing NCEMA’s Dr. Saif Al Dhaheri.
Eid al Adha falls on July 31 this year.
