Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee accepted the National Council's decision that Friday prayer attendance be extended to one third of the main prayer hall capacity, with the SOPs maintained. Implementation is left to JAIS with the consent of the Sultan of Selangor, and yellow and red zones are not permitted to hold Friday prayers except under the stated limits. Marriage solemnisation ceremonies are capped at 30 people according to premises size and the state religious department's directives from time to time. Umrah for Malaysian pilgrims is postponed for now and will be reviewed, with permission considered once the infection curve flattens and is under control.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jumlah jemaah solat Jumaat diperluaskan sehingga 1/3 daripada kapasiti ruang solat utama dengan mengekalkan prosedur operasi standard (SOP) pelaksanaan Solat Jumaat dalam tempoh Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Bersyarat (PKPB).
