Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee set congregation limits for the five daily prayers, Friday prayer and Eid al-Adha prayer at 100 people for state and category A mosques, 50 for smaller qariah mosques, and 20 for Friday surau including temporary ones. Attendees had to be aged 15 and above and in good health. Mosque activities such as takmir classes, lectures, Quran classes, zikir and selawat were postponed, while recitation of Yasin, tahlil, surah al-Mulk, surah al-Kahfi and the hajat prayer after Maghrib and Friday prayer were allowed. Muslims were asked to respect Friday prayer time by staying at home, and business premises were to be closed during that time.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bagi masjid kerajaan dan masjid kategori A (ruang solat utama boleh memuatkan lebih 1000 jemaah) dibenarkan 100 orang.
