KUWAIT CITY, April 3: To promote electricity and water conservation in mosques, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs issued a circular yesterday to imams and muezzins, advising them to shorten the iqamah for the noon and afternoon prayers and to avoid extending the prayers unnecessarily.
Circular No. 8 of 2024 stated that, in light of the message received from the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy regarding scheduled power outages at all mosques across the six governorates, the outages will begin half an hour after the noon call to prayer and continue until a quarter of an hour before the afternoon prayer.
The outages will also occur from half an hour after the afternoon prayer until 5 p.m., as per the Kuwait Mosques app.
