— The time between Azan (first call for prayer) and Iqamah (second call) for the Isha prayer will be 20 minutes.
— The total duration to perform the Isha and the Taraweeh prayers at mosques has been capped at 45 minutes.
— The Taraweeh prayer will begin immediately after the post-Isha voluntary prayer is performed.
— The duration of Tahajjud prayers has been capped at 45 minutes.
— Copies of the Quran may be stocked at mosques, provided they are sterilised after each use.
