With immediate effect, the Canberra Muslim Community (CMC) Inc. will implement new measures to combat the spread of COVID-19.

In accordance with the Fatwa released by the Australian Fatwa Council, the Imam of Gungahlin Masjid and CMC Executive Committee highly encourage Musallees to perform their five daily prayers at home and, to pray 4 rak’at at home as a replacement of Friday Jumuah prayer.  Gungahlin Masjid will be closed until further notice.

Effective this Friday (20 March 2020), Friday Jumuah prayer is temporarily cancelled until further notice.

The Federal Government has placed a ban on any indoor gathering of 100 people. We have taken this ban very seriously and encourage community members to refrain from entering any space that may exceed this number.

Please stay updated with the latest developments on COVID-19 with information provided by ACT Government and other authorities.

We sincerely beg Allah Subhanahu Waa Ta’ala to protect us and our families.
