GEORGE TOWN (Bernama): Fully vaccinated individuals are allowed to perform congregational obligatory and Friday prayers at mosques and surau throughout the state based on the capacity of the prayer area, beginning Saturday (Sept 18).

Penang Islamic Religious Affairs Department director Datuk Mohd Zakuan Zakaria said, however, congregants were required to adhere to the prescribed standard operating procedures to curb Covid-19 transmission.

"Apart from that, mosques or surau management must provide a special prayer area for travellers or e-hailing drivers,” he said in a statement Friday . Mohd Zakuan said religious talks should be held on online platforms while the recitation of Surah Yassin and tahlil could be done on the premises only on Friday nights.

"A total of 30 people are allowed to participate in funeral arrangements for non-Covid-19 patients. Visiting the graves is also allowed,” he added.
