MUSCAT: The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs (MERA) has issued a clarification regarding a mosque that was temporarily closed in Muscat Governorate.
In a statement issued, MERA said the closure of the mosque was “due to the occurrence of cracks in the main entrances to the mosque, in addition to the leakage of surface water into the main prayer hall.”
“In order to preserve the safety of the worshipers, the mosque was temporarily closed, and specialized companies were called to examine the building’s structure,” MERA said.
