KUALA LUMPUR: Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar said he would discuss with the Islamic Development Department (Jakim) director-general and Federal Territory mufti regarding the wearing of face mask during Aidilfitri prayer.
He said although wearing the mask would be a good preventive measure following the current increase in Covid-19 cases, any decision to make it compulsory would have to be referred to the two institutions first.
"For that, I will discuss with Jakim director-general and the Federal Territory mufti whether there is a need to make it compulsory for the congregation to wear face masks when performing Aidilfitri prayer," he said when asked on the matter. Met by reporters after appearing as a guest on Bernama Radio programme"Nota Rohani: Raikan Kemenangan Istiqamah Beribadah”, Mohd Na'im said the outcome of the discussion would be discussed by the Federal Territories Fatwa Committee before a final decision on the matter is made.
