SEREMBAN, May 7 — All mosques and surau in Negri Sembilan have been allowed to hold Aidilfitri prayers, subject to the capacity of the prayer hall and as long as physical distancing is maintained, said Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.

However, he said, surau would be required to apply to the Islamic religious office in their respective district to do so.

On takbir raya, he said, it is allowed in mosques, but the number of congregation depends on the capacity of the prayer room.

House to house takbir raya is not allowed and Raya feast on or after Aidilfitri is also not allowed at all mosques and surau, he told reporters here today.

For visits to cemeteries, Aminuddin, said it is allowed in areas under the recovery movement control order (RMCO) with only four people at a grave for 30 minutes at a time.

Visits to cemeteries in areas under the conditional movement control order (CMCO) is not allowed, he added.

He advised those who have symptoms or not feeling well to not go to the mosques or surau. — Bernama
