Muis announces logistics for Eid prayers

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) together with the mosque sector will open the booking window for Hari Raya (Eid) prayer slots on 28 April 2022 at 10 am. The prayer, which is scheduled to take place on 3 May 2022, will see 66 mosques offering a total of 153,250 spaces. 

Each of the 66 mosques will offer at least two sessions of Eid prayers. The first session will be conducted from 7.30 am to 8.15 a.m, and the second session from 8.45 am to 9.30 am. Of these mosques, 15 mosques that, based on data, are expecting bigger attendances will offer a third session from 10 am to 10.45 am. Congregants attending the third session at these selected mosques may walk-in to perform their prayer with no booking of slots required.

Based on attendance patterns and demand throughout Ramadhan, 60 mosques will cater to both male and female congregants while six mosques will cater to only male congregants. 

Muis encourages the community to plan accordingly, and to consider going to lesser crowded mosques that are located away from neighbourhoods and housing estates. Muis also asked congregants who are unwell or unable to attend the prayer to cancel their bookings so that others may get the slot.

Booking of the prayer slots can be made via the Muslim.sg app or https://ourmosque.commonspaces.sg. Browse the list of mosques here.

The Supreme Committee of Oman has decided to allow the opening of mosques which can accommodate at least 400 worshippers from 15 November 2020, the Oman News Agency has reported.

The conditions under which mosques may reopen include:

- Only allowing the five daily prayers to be performed, with the exemption of Friday prayers.

- Worshippers must feel well. They should also avoid going to the mosque if COVID-19 symptoms are experienced family members, or if they have been in contact with infected persons.

- Mosques will only be open for 25 minutes at a time, inclusive of adhan (الأذان, call for prayer), the prayer itself, and leaving the mosque.

- Physical copies of the Quran (مصحف) have to be kept away and will not be used by worshippers.

- Water coolers (fridges) have to be shut down.

- All toilets have to be closed.

- Worshippers must bring their own prayer mats.

- Worshippers have to sanitise their hands before entering the mosque and after leaving it.

- Worshippers have to keep face masks on the entire time that they are inside the mosque.

- Social distancing of at least 1.5 m must be observed.

Those responsible for mosque management have to see to all worshippers’ commitments to the measures mentioned above and other precautionary measures listed in the Instructional Guide and Procedures for Mosque Preparation and Equipment issued by the Omani Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs.

More spaces now available for Friday prayers in Singapore

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) has successfully concluded a trial to test the readiness of places of worship and for worshippers to perform congregational prayers in larger numbers safely.

Since 26 June 2020, Friday congregational prayers have resumed at 65 mosques, accommodating up to 50 congregants at any one time. In the trial, four* mosques implemented Safe Management Measures (SMM) as prescribed by the Ministry of Community, Culture and Youth. The success of the trial adds a prayer zone at mosques, resulting in congregational worship of up to 100 persons across two zones. 

According to Muis, 26 June-28 August saw approximately 84,000 spaces cumulatively provided for Friday prayers. The organisation noted that worshippers have adapted well to the additional safe measures and behaved responsibly, cooperating with mosque frontline officers to ensure the smooth conduct of daily and Friday congregational prayers.

With the success of this trial, Muis will expand the pilot to allow another 20 mosques to offer two prayer zones for Friday prayers. A total of 24 mosques will now offer praying capacity for 100 spaces (two zones) for three sessions every Friday. Another 10 mosques will also begin offering three prayer sessions. This will provide a total of 13,000 places each week for Friday prayer starting 4 September 2020, a 34% increase spaces available each week.


The original rukhsah** (رخصة, concession), as advised by the Office of the Mufti in its fatwa*** (فتوى, legal opinion) is still in place. Those who have yet to attain a slot for Friday prayers are given the flexibility to replace Friday prayer with the dhuhr (الظهر, mid-day) prayer and are encouraged to tune in to Friday sermons delivered via SalamSG TV. 

Details:

View the list of mosques offering more prayer spaces for the first two Fridays of September

Muis will open Friday prayer registration for more than a week each time, to make it easier for the public to obtain a slot. Registration for Friday prayer booking for 4 September and 11 September will open on 1 September 2020 at 10 am for worshippers who have yet to secure a space since 24 July (inclusive). Registration for congregational prayer slots at all mosques will be open via the MuslimSG app and via https://ourmosques.commonspaces.sg.

However, some people have made bookings but failed to turn up, particularly for the third prayer session. Muis requests that congregants are asked to cancel their bookings early if they are unable to come for prayer so that others may have an opportunity to register. Congregants may cancel bookings at any time up to one hour before the reserved prayer session. Those who fail to cancel their bookings and do not turn up will be deemed as having secured a slot in the system and will have to await the prevailing debarment period before they can reapply. This debarment period will be reviewed and updated as more spaces progressively become available.

SMM measures will continue, in the form of separate entrances and exits for different zones, as well as no intermingling between zones. All are encouraged to take wudhu (الوضوء, ritual ablutions) before coming to the mosque, bring their own prayer items (prayer mats and a shoe bag), wear a mask, refrain from talking and physical contact with other congregants, maintain safe distancing and use SafeEntry when entering and exiting the mosques.

Vulnerable individuals (those aged above 60 and those exhibiting symptoms of acute respiratory infection as well as pre-existing chronic medical conditions) and children below the age of 12 are strongly encouraged to refrain from going to the mosque, Muis said. They should perform prayers at home instead. Worshippers with valid prayer slots who are unwell should also cancel their bookings.

*The four mosques are Masjid Assyafaah, Masjid Mujahidin, Masjid Al-Istighfar and Masjid Al-Iman.

**Flexibility, permissibility, an exception to a general law, granted to preserve life or remove hardship.

Singapore mosques to conduct Eid prayers

With safe management measures in place in mosques, and Friday prayers weekly conducted since 26 June, 2020, limited  (Eid Al-Adha) prayers will be conducted at mosques on 31 July 2020, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) has announced.

As places are limited, congregants who are unable to obtain a booking are encouraged to conduct prayers at home and tune in to the live broadcast of the Hari Raya sermon by the Mufti of Singapore, Dr Nazirudin Mohd Nasir.

Forty-five mosques will offer three sessions of Hari Raya Haji prayer on the morning of 31 July 2020. Another 20 mosques will offer two sessions of Hari Raya Haji prayers. This will mean a total of 8,750 slots available for these prayers.

The Hari Raya Haji sermon by Dr Nazirudin will be broadcast in Malay (with English subtitles) on SalamSG TV as well as on Mediacorp Radio Warna 94.2FM. The Mufti will deliver his sermon after leading prayers at 8.30 am at Masjid Maarof. SalamSG TV and Warna will also broadcast the takbir (تَكْبِير) before the Hari Raya Haji prayer.

For the benefit of the Indian Muslim community, the sermon will also be delivered in Tamil by Masjid Jamae Chulia and Masjid Al Abrar via their Facebook platforms, and on Bisme Radio. Masjid Malabar will broadcast their sermon in Malayalam and for the benefit of Muslim migrant workers, the sermon will also be delivered in Bengali on SalamSG TV at 9.30 am.

This year, Hari Raya Haji falls on a Friday, so there are two congregational prayers for the Muslim community. The Office of the Mufti has advised that those who did not manage to secure a place to perform Hari Raya prayers in mosques can perform it at home with their families. This is similar to the arrangements for Hari Raya Aidilfitri (Eid Al-Fitr) and families are again encouraged to watch the Hari Raya sermon online.

In relation to Friday prayers, although the majority of scholars from the Shafiee, Hanafi and Maliki schools of thought are of the opinion that Friday prayer is still wajib (وَاجِب‎, compulsory) for those who have performed Hari Raya prayers on the morning of the day, the Office of the Mufti has advised that this opinion is best applied during normal situations where space and other similar limitations due to the current pandemic are not an issue.

The main priority for the Muslim community is to provide opportunities for as many Muslims as possible to perform Friday prayers, especially those who have not been able to perform them since the resumption of Friday prayers in mosques after the lifting of COVID-19 circuit breaker measures, Muis said. As such, Muslims who are able to secure a slot for the Hari Raya prayer will not need to perform the Friday prayer, and may instead perform the dhuhr prayer (صَلَاة ٱلظُّهْر, midday prayer) and listen to the Friday sermon online.

The 65 mosques currently offering Friday prayers will continue to do so, with the same safety measures in place. As some mosques have started to offer three sessions instead of two, the number of slots available has increased to 9,100.

Individuals who have secured a slot for Friday prayers will not be eligible to obtain a slot for Hari Raya Haji prayers. To provide more opportunities for those who have yet to perform Friday prayers at the mosque, those who have performed Friday prayers prior to 31 July 2020 will also not be eligible to register for a space.

Those who have yet to attain a slot for Friday prayers are still given the flexibility, as advised by the Office of the Mufti, to replace Friday prayers with dhuhr prayers and then tune in to Friday sermons via SalamSG TV.

Muis also asked that congregants who obtained a slot but are unable to come for prayer cancel their bookings, so that others may have an opportunity to register.

All congregants are advised to adhere to the safe management measures in place. This includes not attending if unwell, taking wudhu (ablutions prior to prayers) before coming to the mosque, bringing their own prayer items (prayer mats and a shoe bag), wearing a mask, refraining from talking and physical contact with other congregants while in the mosque, maintaining safe distancing and using the Safe Entry tracing app when entering and exiting the mosques.

Vulnerable individuals - children under 12, those aged above 60, those exhibiting symptoms of acute respiratory infections as well as those with pre-existing chronic medical conditions - are strongly encouraged to refrain from going to the mosque, and to perform their prayers at home instead.

Registration for slots for Hari Raya prayers and Friday prayers are open via the MuslimSG app and https://ourmosques.commonspaces.sg. Individuals who have secured a slot for Friday prayers will not be eligible to obtain a slot for Hari Raya Haji prayers.

To provide more opportunities for those who have yet to perform Friday prayers at the mosque, those who have performed Friday prayers prior to 31 July 2020 not be eligible to register for a Friday prayers space.

Book mosque prayer sessions online: Singapore

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) has developed an online prayer booking system to manage the demand and ensure orderly conduct of the congregational prayers now that a maximum of 50 congregants may pray together at the same time.

The system allows for reservation of available prayer spaces for daily and Friday congregational prayers. To enable more worshippers to perform their Friday prayers, the system will limit the number of bookings an individual can make for Friday prayers to only one reservation within a three-week window.

For individuals who are unable to obtain a slot for the Friday prayers, the Fatwa Committee has advised that it is sufficient and permissible to perform the regular noon (dhuhr) prayer in place of the Friday prayer. This concession also applies to those who are vulnerable and at risk of infection, such as seniors aged 60 years and above and those with pre-existing chronic conditions. These vulnerable groups, as well as children below the age of 12, are strongly discouraged from attending Friday prayers for the time being. They may instead perform the dhuhr prayer at home on Fridays.

Mosques in Singapore to allow congregational prayers

Esa Masood, Chief Executive, Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis), has announced that in Phase 2 of Singapore's post-circuit breaker reopening, mosques will allow congregational worship.

From 26 June 2020, 66 mosques will now be open for individual private prayer, up to a limit of 50 worshippers, at any one time. In addition, there will be two Friday prayer sessions, with 50 congregants per session.

"As the risk of transmission at mosques remains high, mosques will implement a comprehensive safe management plan for the safety of our congregants. Sermons and prayers will not go beyond 20 minutes, and congregants will need to adhere to safe distancing measures including when performing prayers," Esa said on the Muis Facebook page.

The advice includes:

- Performing ritual ablutions (wudhu) before going to the mosque.

- Wearing a mask at all times

- Bringing personal prayer items and bags for footwear

- Avoiding physical contact with other congregants.

Other than Fridays, the mosques will also offer daily congregational prayers, with 50 slots for each of the five daily prayers.

Those who would like to participate must reserve a place online. "We will offer slots for the first three weeks, on 26 June, 3 July and 10 July. For these three weeks, individuals are allowed only one slot for now, to allow more members of the community the opportunity to perform Friday prayers," Esa said.

Children and vulnerable groups like the elderly and those with chronic respiratory ailments are strongly advised to continue to pray at home for their own safety.

Visitors will then discover the contents of Dala’il Al-Khayrat, the eight ahzab (days of recitation) and other main elements of the book. There is also a special section on how to distinguish the regional characteristics of Dala’il al-Khayrat, through masterpieces from North Africa, Central Asia, Turkey, the Indian Subcontinent, China and Southeast Asia.

Among the highlights of the exhibition are Moroccan copies of Dala’il al-Khayrat and also a rare one-page Dala’il Al-Khayrat, signed by Alhafiz Mahbub Muhammad. The illustrated pages which feature Makkah and Madinah among others, inspired by Imam Al-Jazuli's description of Al-Rawdah Al-Mubarakah (the Blessed Garden) in which the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is buried, together with his two companions Abu Bakr and Umar (رضي الله عنهم).

CIDB refurbishes prayer hall in Kampung Andus, Sabah

Ramadhan, being a time for giving, has seen many corporations come together for corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts.

The newly-repaired Al-Mukminin Surau at Kampung Andus, Sabah, Malaysia, was handed over to villagers by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) on July 20 in a handover ceremony officiated by Deputy Works Minister Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin.

Using funds raised from corporate companies through its “Build Brigade” Programme, launched as a CSR initiative last November, CIDB strengthened the building structure, repaired parts of the buildling, and added an ablution area for women. 

Through Build Brigade, CIDB helps communities living in the interior and needy groups. Twelve private companies, including JH Teguh, Bumisem Engineering, Jad Reka Kaya, Cement Industries Sabah and the management of Dayaku Construction donated nearly RM40,000 and materials for the success of the surau restoration. 

“Such CSR projects are certainly encouraged for implementation by agencies under the Ministry and construction industry players to extend their assistance and contribution to local communities in a more meaningful and beneficial way," said Datuk Rosnah. 

Prior to this, CIDB had constructed two community halls for the Sungai Miak Orang Asli village in Janda Baik, Pahang, and the Penan community in Long Keluan, Sarawak, as well as repaired the Sungai Berua Orang Asli community centre in Hulu Terengganu and a kindergarten in the Post Brooke Orang Asli village in Gua Musang, Kelantan.
