KANGAR: Perlis is allowing all mosques to fully reopen from Wednesday with strict adherence to the standard operating procedure.

       Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail said only fully vaccinated members of the congregation were allowed at the mosque.

       “An individual is considered fully vaccinated 14 days after the second dose of Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Sinovac vaccines.

       “Those who receive the single-dose vaccines such as Johnson & Johnson and Cansino would be considered fully inoculated 28 days after they have received the jab,” he said in a statement issued by the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs).

       Tuanku Syed Faizuddin, who is MAIPs president, said surau and other public prayer places were still closed unless special permission was obtained from MAIPs or the Perlis Islamic Religious Department (JAIPs).

       He also said that those involved in cross-border activities were not allowed to perform prayers at mosques within two weeks from the last date of their travel.

       “All members of the congregation must comply with the safety and health SOP that have been set,” he said, adding that other activities that were allowed included funeral prayers and religious lectures. — Bernama
