MAINPP has agreed to allow mosques and surau to provide prayer space for the convenience of travellers, including e-hailing workers and delivery riders, to perform their prayers.
FRIDAY prayers and the daily obligatory prayers are allowed to be performed at all mosques and surau in Penang, but with only a certain number of congregation allowed, effective last Wednesday.
Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) president Datuk Ahmad Zakiyuddin Abdul Rahman said the council held a special meeting last Tuesday and set a new standard operating procedure (SOP) to be observed at the Muslim houses of worship during the present movement control order (MCO) 2.0.
