DOHA: The Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs has set 153 mosques in different regions of the country to revive I’tikaaf (residing in the mosque for worship) in the last ten days of the holy month of Ramadan.
The Ministry appealed to those interested in I’tikaaf to be keen to learn the jurisprudence of Islamic I’tikaaf, and to commit to I’tikaaf in specified mosques, which were selected according to geographical location and readiness of facilities to serve worshippers.
The Ministry stressed the importance of maintaining personal hygiene and cleanliness of the place of I’tikaaf, and preserve the property of the mosque, taking care not to disturb worshippers with side conversations, and harm the people of the mosque in general.
The Ministry warned worshippers to not hang clothes on the walls and furniture of mosque, in order to preserve the image of the mosques.
