How should congregational prayer rows and Eid prayers be arranged during the Covid-19 Movement Control Order (MCO)?
Short answer
Congregational prayer is permitted with spaced rows during an outbreak as long as it remains safe from transmission, with one metre between the imam and worshippers and between worshippers.

Summary
Congregational prayer is permitted with spaced rows during an outbreak as long as it remains safe from transmission, with one metre between the imam and worshippers and between worshippers. The Eid prayer is to be performed at home, in congregation among members of the same household only, with or without a sermon. Family members who have just recovered or are under home quarantine may pray only individually. The ruling also states that asymptomatic positive patients must still fast unless unable or at risk of harm, and missed fasts must be made up.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Diharuskan solat berjemaah secara berjarak-jarak bagi makmum dengan makmum yang bersebelahan pada waktu wabak sekiranya solat berjemaah itu masih lagi selamat daripada penularan wabak.
