Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee accepted the working paper proposing limits on congregants and mosque activities in order to break the covid-19 chain of infection. Congregational prayers and Friday prayers were permitted from 21 May to 7 June 2021, or another date announced by the Johor Islamic Religious Council, with restricted numbers. Friday mosques and surau were capped at 50 people and other surau at 20, drawn only from local residents of the parish, including committee members and officers. The decision also sets out which mosque activities are allowed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
