Summary
These 2020 amended guidelines apply to all mosques and surau in Perlis and to Muslims residing in the state. Imams may not introduce acts in prayer without clear evidence, may not designate qunut for particular times such as Subuh qunut except qunut nazilah and witir, and may not hold congregational wirid after obligatory prayers except for teaching within a limited time. Khatibs deliver sermons issued by MAIPs, the Subuh call to prayer is made twice, 30 minutes before the time enters and again when it enters, and personal and commercial announcements in mosques are prohibited while announcements of prescribed acts of obedience and public welfare are permitted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak mengadakan wirid secara jamai'e pada masa tertentu seperti selepas solat fardhu kecuali untuk tujuan mengajar dalam waktu yang terbatas
