Mosque Re-opening Notice

Opening of the Dublin Mosque for the five daily prayers

The Islamic Foundation of Ireland (IFI) would like to inform members of the Muslim community that, the Dublin Mosque will reopen for daily prayers from Dhuhr (noon) prayer on Monday 29th of June 2020.

There will be several restrictions in place in keeping with the public health guidelines on Corona virus (COVID 19) pandemic.

Covid-19 is a sad reality of our time and the whole world is fighting against it. It is the duty of every Muslim to do whatever he/she can to stop the spread of the virus. It is important that everyone should take this problem seriously as we slowly go back to some sort of normality, “the new normality.” Things are not going to be the same for some time and people should keep this in mind, behave responsibly, adhere to all guidelines, and take all the necessary precautions when they come to the Mosque for prayers.

Friday Jumu’ah Prayers

No decision has been made yet regarding the start of the Friday Jumu’ah prayers. This will depend on how smooth and safe the reopening of the Mosque for the five daily prayers is going to be from 29th June.

Please remember that, there will be a limitation in the numbers attending the Mosque for prayers due to social distancing requirements. Once the maximum capacity is reached, there will be no further admittance into the mosque. We request understanding and cooperation. Children are not allowed in the mosque until the lockdown is over.
