Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that all activities at mosques and surau, including Friday prayers, congregational obligatory prayers and Tarawih, are suspended until the government declares conditions safe again. Congregational obligatory prayers are permitted only by three mosque officers to fulfil the communal obligation, and the call to prayer continues as usual. Community members perform Zuhr on Fridays and the five daily prayers at home, and Muslims are advised to increase worship with family, including Qunut Nazilah, hajat prayer and supplications against calamity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sepanjang tempoh tersebut juga semua ahli qariah hendaklah menunaikan solat Zuhur pada hari Jumaat dan solat fardu lima waktu di rumah masing-masing.
