Islamic Ideology
Saudis Divided on Televised Tarawih
Saudi worshippers and scholars see the live broadcasting of Tarawih is causing them to lose the spiritual atmosphere during the rite.
By Ali Al-Hajib, IOL Correspondent
Yazeedi said many worshippers lose concentration during the prayers because of the cameras.
"Watching the cameras, you would find worshippers whose eyes are glued to the cameras."
In Ramadan, adult Muslims, save the sick and those traveling, abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex between dawn and sunset.
Muslims dedicate their time during the holy month to become closer to Allah through prayer and self-restraint.
"Broadcasting the prayers may disturb worshippers during the prayers," imam Hani Al-Refae told IOL.
Refae, the imam of Al-Anani mosque in Jeddah, was asked by a media corporation to broadcast the Tarawih prayers from his mosque.
