Salat Idul Fitri in 2025 at the IKN National Mosque had to be canceled due to ongoing construction work at the mosque. According to Special Staff for the IKN Authority in Public Communication, Troy Pantouw, the decision was made considering technical factors and the need for further improvements in accessibility. The mosque is still under construction, which poses risks, especially in the roofing structure and minarets, with only 54.3% progress recorded so far.
Reasons for Cancellation:
-
Ongoing Construction: Risky stages, particularly in roofing structure and minarets.
-
Progress: Construction completion at 54.3%.
-
Accessibility: Roads leading to the mosque require enhancements for visitor and congregant traffic flow.
Despite the significant progress, the authorities emphasized the need to prioritize safety and convenience for worshippers, necessitating the cancellation of the Idul Fitri prayer at the IKN National Mosque.
