Women's prayer halls in Sharjah's large mosques will be opened for men during Friday prayers from March 26.

The emirate's Department of Islamic Affairs made the announcement on Twitter.

It says the decision has been taken in order to ease congestion and protect worshippers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Women's prayer halls will remain closed at all other times.
