SINGAPORE, Aug 21 — The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) has instructed mosques across the republic to shorten Friday prayer sermons starting today, amid hot weather and haze.
It said the change is temporary and a necessary adjustment to the increasingly hot and hazy weather conditions Singapore is facing.
"Starting this week, the Friday sermon sessions will be shortened to help keep our congregants comfortable during these challenging weather conditions.
"Typically, the first sermon is around six to seven pages. With these temporary changes, it will be under four pages," MUIS said in a Facebook post today.
It added that the change will remain in effect until further notice.
"May this help make it a little easier for everyone to gather, worship, and remain comfortable during these challenging weather conditions," MUIS said.
