PUTRAJAYA, June 11 — All mosques, Friday and community surau in the Federal Territories’ Covid-19 green zones will reopen for the congregational Friday and obligatory prayers starting tomorrow.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah had given his consent on the matter adding that the mosques and surau could only accommodate one-third of the prayer hall capacity.
“The mosque or surau committee may appoint volunteers among the congregation to assist to control the crowd before and after prayers.
“It is up to the committee to decide on any appropriate method or rotation system to be fair to others wanting to perform congregational prayers in the mosque or surau,” he said at a special press conference here today.
He said the prayer hall capacity would be increased in stages, as advised by the Health Ministry and the National Security Council.
