After a reaction, Egypt has lifted the restriction on night prayers.

Following widespread outrage, Egypt's government has overturned its plan to ban nighttime prayers and retreats in mosques.

During the fasting month of Ramadan, both rituals are common, with retreats occurring in the last ten days of the month.

The restriction, according to Religious Affairs Minister Mohammad Mokhtar Gom'a, is intended to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Muslims in Egypt, on the other hand, have sought equal treatment with Christians who have gathered in great numbers to celebrate Easter this week.

On Tuesday, the hashtag #enemyofGod trended on Twitter, describing Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as an "enemy of God."
