The Vatican has granted Muslim scholars’ request for a prayer room.
In an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Father Giacomo Cardinali, the Vice Prefect of the Vatican Library, said the ancient institution is now allowing academics an area to practice their own religion onsite.
He said: ‘Some Muslim scholars asked us for a room with a prayer rug, and we gave it to them.’
