Ramadan 2022 guidelines in Saudi Arabia
The Saudi Arabian government has issued a directive that all restaurants in Saudi Arabia will remain closed during the day of Ramadan. But all these restaurants can open in the evening so that people can take food for Iftar from these restaurants. Along with this, instructions have also been issued that cameras are not allowed in any mosque. The live streaming of Namaz has also been banned by the government.
Ramzan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar. It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims all over the world. It is one of the most significant periods in Islam when people observe a fast known as Roza.
When Roza is observed, no food or drink should be consumed when the sun is up. People eat their first meal known as sehri, early in the morning and break their fast with iftaar in the evening. All believers consider this month to be auspicious and holy.
The last day of the month of Ramadan is marked by Eid-ul-Fitr when people break their fast and celebrate with a feast.
