Muslims will be able to return to most mosques on Friday (June 26) for congregational prayers, which will be limited to 50 people per session.
Mosques will provide two half-hour prayer sessions every Friday, with a half-hour interval between the two sessions to ensure safe crowd management, said the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) on Sunday.
Congregants will have to reserve prayer spaces for daily and Friday congregational prayers using an online prayer booking system developed by Muis. Without a booking, congregants will not be allowed into the mosques.
Each person will be allowed to book only one slot for Friday prayers every three weeks. This is to allow more worshippers to perform their Friday prayers, said Muis.
Meanwhile, sermons and prayers will be shortened to a maximum of 20 minutes.
When delivering the sermons, imams will have to stand at least 2m away from the first row and will be required to wear a face shield.
Congregants will also have to pray in marked designated individual spaces 1m apart.
