PUTRAJAYA: Mosques and surau under the administration of the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) and the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (Jawi) will hold Yasin recitations and solat hajat (special prayer of need) for the late Zara Qairina Mahathir, tomorrow (Aug 14), after the Maghrib prayer.

Jakim director-general Datuk Dr Sirajuddin Suhaimee, in a statement, said the session is being held following instructions from Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar.

He said the event is a gesture of love, solidarity and compassion towards the bereaved family, calling on all Muslims to attend.
