JAKARTA - The management of the Great Mosque of Jakarta Islamic Center has again closed the prayer tables together in accordance with the advice from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). Head of the Secretariat of the Greater Jakarta Islamic Center Ahmad Juhandi said that congregational prayers are allowed to be close together, but the use of masks is still recommended, along with an appeal to scan a sticker containing the Care Protect barcode at the entrance to the mosque. "Now it's attached, but the rules for masks can't be removed. Right, MUI says now there are no excuses (obstacles), so it's okay to close the rows," said Ahmad in North Jakarta, Friday April 1. Because of that, said Ahmad, the sticker marking the prayer space distance on the floor has been removed. However, health protocols such as checking body temperature with a thermo gun, providing hand washing facilities, and recommendations for wearing masks during prayers are still being carried out. So we joined the MUI. But the procedures must include wearing masks, thermo guns, washing hands, we are still carrying out all the standards," said Ahmad as quoted by Antara. during the coming Ramadan. Although it is possible to close the rows, the capacity for congregational prayers at the Great Mosque of JIC still cannot be fully filled due to the renovation work on the mosque dome. The JIC can accommodate more than 5,000, half of the full capacity of the rows. Hopefully it can accommodate all the congregation who pray. Don't go together and pray Tarawih later at JIC," said Ahmad.
