CONGREGATIONAL prayers without physical distancing will be allowed in mosques and suraus from tomorrow in Negri Sembilan. 

Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun said worshippers are no longer required to bring their own prayer mats, and that activities such as takmir classes, lectures, tazkirah and talks will be allowed without physical distancing. 

“However, worshippers are still required to wear face masks properly as long as they are in the closed space of the mosque and surau,” he said in a Facebook post today.

Meanwhile, Aminuddin said, the Aidiladha sacrificial ritual will be allowed to be performed this year at mosques and surau throughout the state.

Applicants or organisers need to apply through the e-qurb@NS system between 2pm tomorrow and 4pm on July 3, he said. – Bernama, June 12, 2022.
