GEORGE TOWN: Mosques or surau in Penang have been given an option to hold the Aidilfitri prayers in Penang with strict adherence to standard operating procedures (SOP).
Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) president Datuk Ahmad Zakiyuddin Abdul Rahman said this was to allow more people the opportunity to perform the prayers.
“However, the mosques and surau must comply with the conditions set, including the presence of only 50 people in a mosque and 20 people in a surau for each session, based on the SOP under the Movement Control Order (MCO),“ he said when contacted today.
