SINGAPORE: Mosques will remain open for daily and Friday prayers amid the haze, although prayer arrangements may be adjusted depending on prevailing conditions, said the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS).
The council stepped up haze preparedness measures across mosques, madrasahs and mosque-based kindergartens as air quality in Singapore remained in the unhealthy range on Monday (Oct 12).
“Mosques will remain open for daily and Friday congregational prayers, with appropriate precautions in place. Should the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) enter the Very Unhealthy range (201–300), mosques will suspend non-essential outdoor programmes and activities,” said MUIS.
“Prayer arrangements may also be adjusted according to prevailing haze conditions, available indoor facilities and national health advisories.”
