Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee agreed to adopt the resolution of the Special Muzakarah of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs Malaysia, based on the juristic maxims on public interest and the prohibition of harm. The call to prayer and the five daily obligatory prayers in mosques and suraus are to be performed only by the imam, bilal and caretaker after a health screening. All imams are to recite qunut nazilah in the five daily prayers. Tabligh members involved in the Sri Petaling mosque gathering must undergo health screening and follow Ministry of Health directives, and religious gatherings such as lectures and talks are not permitted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak dibenarkan diadakan apa-apa perhimpunan untuk tujuan aktiviti agama seperti kuliah, ceramah dan seumpamanya di seluruh masjid-masjid dan surau
