Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee permits Friday prayers and the five daily congregational prayers in red, yellow and green zones, limited to one third of mosque and surau capacity with social distancing. Mosque programmes such as Quran recitation, yaasin, tahlil and religious lectures are allowed only in green and yellow zones within set time and capacity limits, are not allowed in red zones, and meals must be provided as packed food. The decision also sets attendance limits for funeral management, burials and grave visits, restricts marriage solemnisation to Kadi offices, and lists guidelines mosque committees must enforce until 6 December 2020 or a date to be announced.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
