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
"I don't mind the presence of cameras during the prayers," said imam Mohammad Al-Ghazali.
"But the cameras should be placed at the backyard and should not focus on broadcasting the faces of the worshippers."
He said the live broadcast is sometimes needed during religious ceremonies or the last Tarawih prayers.
"But cameras should not be visible in order not to distract the worshippers," said Ghazali, the imam of Al-Gaith mosque.
Dr. Saud Al-Fanissan, the former dean of the Faculty of Shari`ah, Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University, sees the live broadcasting of prayers as "positive".
