Saudis On Clubhouse Are Discussing If Shops Should Be Closed For Prayers Or Not
Clubhouse is all the rage these days and a lot of interesting conversations – some serious, some not-so – have been taking place on the app.
Some Saudis, for instance, took to Clubhouse to discuss if shops should remain closed during prayer times or not
And although it is hardly a new topic of discussion in Saudi Arabia, there were some new opinions and perspectives shared and allowed a new way to have the public discourse.

Many people support the closing of shops during prayer times as it allows and encourages prayers
الجميل بمحطة الوقود القريبه من بيتي.. ما يقفلون للصلاة.. فريق يروح يصلي وفريق يخدم بالتناوب.

Many disagreed and believe that essential stores such as pharmacies and grocery stores should remain open.
It is also valuable to the economy.
اصبح اغلب المحلات التجارية تستغل #اغلاق_المحلات_وقت_الصلاة فقط لراحة موظفيها وليس للصلاة❗️
هذا العذر يعطل مصالح المواطنين
اتمنى تدخل الجهات المعنية بتحديد ساعات العمل للمحلات بشكل واضح وسليم لكي لايُستخدم هذا العذر الغير شرعي لراحة الموظف الشرعية❗️#لا_تدرعم كلنا مسلمين ونصلي— بَشْمُهَنّدِز عدنان (@bald_adnan) February 12, 2021
