Video: Cash to lure Muslims for prayers

A Saudi man went into a mosque and placed SR500 notes for every worshipper to lure in Muslims for prayers. More notes were placed for the Imam (preacher)

The unidentified man, who filmed what he was doing, said he wanted to encourage all Muslims come to the mosque and pray.

Sada newspaper carried the film which showed the mosque was still empty. It said many viewers of the YouTube film slammed the man for such an act on the grounds Muslims should pray for being faithful not for money. It did not say where in Saudi Arabia the mosque is located.
