THE government has today allowed lectures, Dhuha prayers and religious classes to be held in mosques and surau beginning  this week, said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (picture).

He said this was subject to compliance of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and would depend on the size and capacity of mosques and surau.

“Mosques and surau are also authorised to hold tazkirah (religious talks) before Friday prayers, subject to SOP adherence, beginning  this Friday (July 3),” he told a press conference on the latest development on the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) today.
