Jakim deputy director-general (policy) Hakimah Mohd Yusoff said the SOPs for congregational prayers at mosques and suraus in other states remained the same and are subject to the decisions of the respective state religious authorities.

“I wish to inform that the conditions were set by the Selangor religious authorities and only apply to mosques and suraus in the state.

“Jakim respects the ruling made by the Selangor religious authorities and advises Muslims (in the state) to abide by the SOPs set to ensure efforts to control the spread of the Covid-19 virus achieve their objectives,” she said in a statement here today.

On Tuesday, the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais), through a circular dated Feb 21, set the two-dose and booster dose requirement for Muslims to be able to perform Friday prayers at mosques and suraus in the state effective Feb 25.
