JAKARTA - The manager of the West Jakarta Hasyim Asy'ari Grand Mosque has provided a place to accommodate 1,500 worshipers for the Eid prayer on Sunday (10/6).

"We are preparing it. It is estimated that if it is fully filled, it will reach 1,000 to 1,500 people," said Head of the Hasyim Asy'ari Grand Mosque Integrated Management Unit, Dikki Syafrin, as quoted by Antara, Monday, July 4.

This is because the mosque imposes a distance between worshipers during prayer so that the capacity of the mosque cannot be maximized.

"The capacity for non-distant staff can be 3,000-5,000 people," he said.

Later, each congregation is required to pray at a distance of less than one meter. The mosque staff will also help the congregation to adjust the distance.

In addition, pilgrims are required to wear masks for all congregations in the mosque environment.

"Before entering the mosque, we are also asked to wash our hands, which we provide sanitation in front of the lobby," he said.

He hopes that the regulation can provide a sense of security for the congregation in performing the Eid prayers.
