RESTRAIN ON RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES AT THE MOSQUES AND SURAU AND GUIDELINES ON THE HANDLING OF THE DEAD BODY DUE TO COVID-19
After obtaining approval from His Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-Musta’in Billah, I then elucidate that:
Based on the report by the Ministry of Health and discussion of the special meeting of the Muzakarah Committee of the National Council for Islamic Affairs Malaysia on 15th March 2020 at Pulse Grande Hotel, Putrajaya, the resolutions are as follow:
All activities at the mosques and surau including Jumaat prayer and daily congregational prayers shall be postponed starting 17-26th March 2020. The managing committee of the mosques and surau are encouraged to conduct cleaning and sanitising operations to avoid the spread of COVID-19. The 10 days closing period was made as per advice of the Ministry of Health.
In the event of death due to COVID-19, the body must be handled according to the guidelines provided by the 107th Muzakarah of Committee of Fatwa of the National Council for Islamic Affairs Malaysia which conferred on 10-11th February 2015 regarding religious opinion on the Handling of the Muslim Dead Body of Suspected or Confirmed Ebola Virus (Ebola Virus Disease: EVD) in Malaysia. However, there is an exception given in case of presence of harm to those who handle the body. Thus, it can be handled by performing tayammum on the surface of the body bag or plastic cover which secures the body.
In implementing items (a) and (b), the Muzakarah committee relays its trust to the respective state Islamic authorities to determine the best mechanism.
With the approval of His Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the implementation of the above items (a) and (b) are applied in Federal Territories. Thank you.
