during Ramadan, is the best way to achieve closeness to God. Therefore
mosques become particularly crowded during the month of fasting with
worshippers. But these crowds also attract another type of visitor,
the thief, whose favorite target is unattended purses in the women's
sections of these houses of worship.

men disguised in abaya and niqab (face veil), come in while women are
preoccupied with prayer and prostration and snatch purses from the

crime, either.

thieves (too)," said Ali Al-Marshad, a worshipper in Riyadh who goes
every day with his wife and daughter to pray. "Women's mosque-prayer
season in Riyadh is Ramadan; this could explain why they are sought by
thieves. If I suspected that a man could break into a women's section
of the mosque I would not allow my wife and daughter to go. I'd rather
make them pray at home."

women's garb. They grabbed a number of purses and fled. Shortly after
the women called the police, they cordoned off the neighborhood around
the mosque to no avail - the men had vanished with their booty.

of Jeddah, Maha Abdullah, a forty-something mother of four, decided it
was time to take extra precaution. "We heard about a couple of theft
incidents in the men's section," she said. "Thieves were
pick-pocketing worshippers at the entrance or exit of the mosque. I
became very cautious while praying. The women's section is unguarded
and it is located in the back of the mosque. I try not to carry any
money and I leave my mobile at home."

placing their purses in front of them so they can be mindful of their

a phenomenon," he said..
