Saudi woman dies while praying

A Saudi woman died while she was praying at a mosque to the shock of scores of other Muslim women who had packed the place in the Gulf Kingdom.

Umm Issa had gone to the mosque for evening prayers near her house in the eastern province of Ihsaa and was given a chair to perform prayers given her old age.

“When all women finished praying, Umm Issa remained seated…the woman next to her tried to move her but she was dead,” Alsaudeh daily said without mentioning her age.
