Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri said the decision was made as mosques and suraus nationwide were instructed to not hold public prayers until March 31, due to the MCO.
“Tomorrow, as we all are informed, that it is an obligation for Muslims who fulfil conditions to attend Friday prayers,” he said. “The move is to break the Covid-19 virus chain link. Please follow orders and replace it by performing Zohor prayers at home or anywhere you are with your family members. On the Azan, Zulkifli said the Muezzin can also lower the “Hayya Alassolah” part and at the end of the call for prayer and instead call upon the congregation to perform their prayers at their homes in a language that the majority understand such as in the Malay language.
