PAS Sarawak menyokong usaha Kerajaan Sarawak dan arahan Majlis Agama Islam Sarawak dalam memberi perlindungan kepada umat Islam melalui usaha mengawal penyebaran virus COVID-19 dengan garis panduan untuk pengimarahan masjid dan surau semasa Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan ( PKP) di seluruh Sarawak.
Satu perkara yang perlu dikaji semula adalah batasan jamaah dengan mematuhi penjarakan fizikal di ruang solat. Ini harus sesuai dengan kemampuan maksimum sesuai dengan ukuran masjid atau surau di mana jika masjid itu besar dan luas maka had jamaah harus dinaikkan, tidak hanya 200 atau 100 orang ketika solat Jumaat dan dikurangkan menjadi 50 orang semasa solat fardu.
Contohnya seperti solat fardu Masjid Jamek Negeri Sarawak tidak lebih dari 100 orang dan Masjid Bahagian, Daerah, Daerah Kecil, Kariah dan Surau tidak lebih daripada 50 orang, harus ditambah mengikut kemampuan maksimum ukuran masjid atau surau.
Begitu juga dengan solat Jumaat di Masjid dan Surau (yang telah diberi izin untuk mendirikan solat Jumaat). Masjid Jamek Negeri Sarawak tidak lebih dari 200 orang dan Masjid Bahagian atau Daerah atau Daerah Kecil atau Kariah tidak melebihi 100 orang. Solat Jumaat di surau yang dibenarkan tidak lebih dari 50 orang juga harus diselaraskan dengan jumlah solat yang wajib. Sementara itu, waktu menunggu solat Jumaat lebih lama berbanding waktu solat fardu. Mengapa mesti ada perbezaan jumlah antara waktu solat Jumaat dan solat fardu? Perkara ini juga perlu diberi perhatian dan ianya perlu diselaraskan.
Mengapa kita harus membezakan antara jumlah solat Jumaat dan solat wajib atau fardu ketika ramai orang datang untuk solat wajib, terutama ketika solat Maghrib dan Isyak, kadang-kadang melebihi had yang telah ditetapkan. Sekiranya solat wajib ramai orang yang hadir, itu lebih baik lagi kerana itu adalah tanda bahawa umat Islam sedar akan kewajipan mereka untuk melakukan perintah Allah, bukan hanya ramai pada waktu-waktu tertentu, seperti solat Jumaat atau solat Hari Raya saja.
Perkara ini perlu disesuaikan kerana kita dapati terdapat masjid yang besar dan ruang solatnya separuh kosong dan perlu diisi mengikut kemampuan maksimum mengikut ukuran masjid. Pihak pengurusan masjid dapat mengeluarkan notis mengenai berapa ramai orang yang boleh bersolat di ruang solat seperti yang ditentukan. Kawalan semasa memasuki dan meninggalkan masjid mesti mematuhi SOP yang lebih ketat agar semuanya berjalan lancar.
Kami menggesa agar perkara ini diberi perhatian oleh Majlis Islam Sarawak, terutama sekali, umat Islam akan menyambut Hari Raya Qurban atau Idul Adha di mana ramai yang ingin bersolat secara berjamaah di masjid dan surau. Kerjasama dengan Majlis Islam Sarawak dan pihak-pihak yang berkenaan amat dihargai.

The limitations of congregational prayers in mosques and surau need to be reviewed
PAS Sarawak supports the efforts of the Sarawak government and the direction of the Sarawak Islamic Religious Council in providing protection to Muslims through efforts to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus with guidelines for the maintenance of mosques and suraus during the Movement Control Order (MCO) throughout Sarawak.
One thing that needs to be reviewed is the limitations of the congregation by adhering to the physical spacing in the prayer room. This should be in accordance with the maximum capacity according to the size of the mosque or surau where if the mosque is large and spacious then the congregation limit should be increased, not just 200 or 100 people during Friday prayers and reduced to 50 people during obligatory prayers.
For example, such as the obligatory prayers of the Sarawak State Jamek Mosque Not more than 100 people and the Divisional Mosque, District, Sub -District, Parish, and Surau Not more than 50 people, should be added according to the maximum capacity of the mosque or surau.
The same goes for Friday prayers in Mosques and Suraus (which have been given permission to establish Friday prayers). Masjid Jamek Negeri Sarawak Not more than 200 people and Division/District/Sub -District/Parish Not more than 100 people. Friday prayers at the permitted surau Not more than 50 people should also be coordinated with the number of obligatory prayers. Meanwhile, the waiting time for Friday prayers is longer than the obligatory prayer time. Why must there be a difference in the amount between the time of Friday prayers and obligatory prayers? This matter also needs to be given attention and it needs to be coordinated.
Why should we differentiate between the number of Friday prayers and obligatory prayers when many people come for obligatory prayers, especially when Maghrib and Isha prayers, sometimes exceed the prescribed limits. If the obligatory prayers are attended by many people, it is even better because it is a sign that Muslims are aware of their obligation to do the command of Allah, not just many at certain times, such as Friday prayers or Hari Raya prayers only.
This needs to be adjusted because we find that there is a large mosque and the prayer space is half empty and needs to be filled according to the maximum capacity according to the size of the mosque. The mosque management can issue a notice on how many people can pray in the prayer room as specified. Controls when entering and leaving the mosque must adhere to stricter SOPs so that everything runs smoothly.
We urge that this matter be given attention by the Sarawak Islamic Council, especially soon, the Muslims will celebrate Hari Raya Qurban/Idul Adha where many want to pray in a congregation at mosques and suraus. Cooperation with the Sarawak Islamic Council and relevant parties is greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
