Male customers and business premise owners who are Muslims in Johor are required to suspend business activities or temporarily close their premises during Friday prayers.
The Chairman of the Johor State Islamic Affairs Committee, Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid, stated that this is to enable them to fulfil their responsibility to perform the Friday prayers at a nearby mosque. Female Muslim customers, owners, or employees, on the other hand, are given the flexibility to continue conducting business at their premises.
“Those who are required to halt their businesses are Muslim men, so these individuals should not be engaged in business or work during Friday prayers.”“We will enforce regulations to ensure that all men who are obligated to perform the Friday prayers fulfil their duty.”In his Facebook post, Fared urged the men who faced difficulties performing Friday prayers due to backlash from employers to file complaints regarding the matter to the Johor State Department of Labour .
A total of 26 school Suraus in the state have also been identified and permitted for Friday prayer purposes.Also read: “For my mother” Son of KL Sinkhole Victim Returns to Masjid India to Perform Last Rites & Prayers
