Postpone Grave Visits

Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) president, Datuk Ahmad Zakiyuddin Abdul Rahman announced that Muslim in Penang are not allowed to visit graves on Hari Raya Aidilfitri like they used to due to the conditional movement control order (CMCO). Especially since it is a sunat (optional) practice, Muslims were advised to postpone it.
