The government has prohibited open house gatherings and events for Hari Raya Aidilfitri throughout the country this year.
However, Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said visiting houses and graves for the occasion are allowed with conditions.
"Hari Raya visits in areas under the conditional movement control order (MCO) and recovery MCO will be allowed on the first to the third day of Hari Raya with strict conditions.
"For MCO areas, Hari Raya visits are allowed on the first day only and restricted to 15 visitors at a time.
"For those under the conditional MCO, the limit is 20 visitors at one time, while areas under the recovery MCO can have 25 visitors," he told a press conference today.
No house visits are allowed for enhanced MCO areas, but people can celebrate with their own family members in the same house, he added.
Ismail said the host is encouraged to provide a body temperature scanner and use a MySejahtera QR code or logbook to record visitor details.
On grave visits, he said they are permitted for those under conditional MCO and recovery MCO only.
"No visiting of graves are allowed in MCO and enhanced MCO areas."
Hari Raya prayers are allowed at mosques and surau with conditions, except for enhanced MCO areas, he said, adding that requirements on the matter will be set by state religious authorities.
"Feasts after Aidilfitri prayers at mosques and surau are not allowed in MCO and enhanced MCO areas, but are permitted for conditional MCO and recovery MCO locations, also subject to conditions set by state religious authorities."
Mosque and surau committees are encouraged to provide packed food for congregants to take home, Ismail added.
Hari Raya Aidilfitri is expected to fall on May 13.
