Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the mosque, which has been completed and is ready for use, is permitted and declared as a place for Friday prayers until a contrary declaration is made. Before the Friday prayer is held, this information must be conveyed to the congregation, especially residents living near the mosque. On the first Friday, the District Kadi, on behalf of the Johor Islamic Religious Council, must make an official declaration before the prayer, including a reminder to preserve the sanctity and honour of the area.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masjid Bandar Seri Alam, Jalan Rimbun, Masai Johor Bahru yang telah siap dibina dan boleh diguna pakai diberi kebenaran untuk digunakan dan diisytiharkan sbagai tempat untuk mendirikan solat jumaat sehingga satu pengisytiharaan sebaliknya dilakukan.
