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."

Mosques have been issued haze guidelines covering precautionary measures across different PSI levels, said MUIS, adding that its measures are aligned with national health advisories and Singapore's whole-of-government haze response.

Congregants are encouraged to minimise prolonged outdoor exposure, while the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions are advised to take additional precautions, such as wearing suitable masks when attending prayers.

Full-time madrasahs and mosque-based kindergartens have been advised to implement relevant haze management measures in accordance with advisories issued by the Ministry of Education and the Early Childhood Development Agency.

The measures include adjustments to outdoor activities, appropriate indoor arrangements and monitoring the well-being of students and staff, it said. Parents will be informed of any changes to school activities or arrangements.

“MUIS will continue to monitor the haze situation closely and work with relevant government agencies to review and adjust its measures as necessary, in line with prevailing conditions and national health advisories.”

In August, MUIS temporarily shortened Friday sermon sessions , citing heat and haze.

新加坡：新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）表示，尽管雾霾天气，清真寺仍将开放进行每日和周五的祈祷，但祈祷安排可能会根据实际情况进行调整。

周一（10 月 12 日），新加坡的空气质量仍处于不健康水平，因此理事会加强了清真寺、伊斯兰学校和清真寺附属幼儿园的雾霾防范措施。

“清真寺将继续开放，进行每日和周五的集体礼拜，并采取适当的预防措施。如果24小时空气污染指数（PSI）进入非常不健康范围（201-300），清真寺将暂停非必要的户外活动，”新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）表示。

“祈祷安排也可能会根据当时的雾霾情况、可用的室内设施和国家卫生部门的建议进行调整。”

新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）表示，已向清真寺发布了雾霾指南，涵盖不同PSI等级的预防措施，并补充说，其措施与国家卫生建议和新加坡政府整体雾霾应对措施相一致。

鼓励信众尽量减少长时间在户外活动，同时建议老年人和有基础疾病的人采取额外的预防措施，例如在参加祈祷时佩戴合适的口罩。

已建议全日制伊斯兰学校和清真寺附属幼儿园按照教育部和幼儿发展署发布的建议实施相关的雾霾管理措施。

声明称，这些措施包括调整户外活动、做出适当的室内安排以及监测学生和教职员工的健康状况。学校活动或安排如有任何变更，将会通知家长。

“新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）将继续密切关注雾霾情况，并与相关政府机构合作，根据实际情况和国家卫生建议，审查并酌情调整相关措施。”

8 月，MUIS 以天气炎热和雾霾为由，暂时缩短了周五的布道时间。
