AL-KAFI #1735 : ADAKAH WAJIB HADIR BERATUR UNTUK MENDAPAT TEMPAT BAGI SOLAT JUMAAT PADA FASA PERINTAH KAWALAN PERGERAKAN PEMULIHAN (PKPP)?
Am I obliged to queue for a place at Friday prayer in a green zone mosque during the Recovery Movement Control Order (PKPP)?
Short answer
Queuing is not obligatory, but it is encouraged to seek a place by following the mosque's SOP, such as filling in a form if available and arriving early.

Summary
Queuing is not obligatory, but it is encouraged to seek a place by following the mosque's SOP, such as filling in a form if available and arriving early. Complying with the attendance limit and SOP requires cooperation from all community members. If there is a strong presumption that the mosque is already full and sufficient, a person need not queue, in order to obey the authorities and avoid large gatherings.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, jika sekiranya kelihatan dengan sangkaan yang kuat (ghalabat al-dzann) bahawa bilangan jemaah di masjid sudah penuh dan mencukupi, maka sebagai mematuhi arahan pihak berkuasa tidak perlu untuk seseorang beratur bagi mengelakkan perkumpulan beramai-ramai.
