SINGAPORE – There should not be Hari Raya visits or gatherings during the circuit breaker period this year, and Singaporean pilgrims will have to defer the annual haj pilgrimage to Mecca to 2021, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) announced on Friday (May 15).
Muslims will celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri, which marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan, next Sunday (May 24).
On the eve of Hari Raya, the community can recite the takbir – or communal prayer calls – in their own homes together with family members, led by the Mufti and various asatizah via YouTube Live on SalamSG TV, and Facebook Live on the pages of Muis and mosques.
Mufti Nazirudin Mohd Nasir will then address the community on SalamSG TV on fulfilling its religious duties during Hari Raya amidst Covid-19. He will be joined by former Mufti Fatris Bakaram, and President Halimah Yacob will be a special guest.
