Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed with JAKIM's proposal to expand the congregation for Eid al-Adha prayers and Friday prayers during the MCO to 50 people. Eligible attendees are those fully vaccinated and past two weeks after the second dose. The expansion can be implemented once the country enters Phase Two of the National Recovery Plan in July to August 2021, subject to the current COVID-19 situation and the consideration of the state religious authority.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
