Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that making an announcement before the Friday azan is originally permissible. The ruling relies on the text of Fathul Mu'in, volume 2, page 86, which states that speaking before the sermon and after it is not disliked. This fatwa has not been gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pada asalnya tidak mengapa, sebagaimana nasnya tersebut dalam Kitab Fathul Mu'in Juz 2 Muka Surat 86.
