Summary
The Penang State Syariah Committee decided that members of a parish are permitted to perform Friday prayer outside their parish even without any reason. This permission must not go so far as to invalidate the Friday prayer in the home parish because of a shortage of congregants in that locality.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Membenarkan anak kariah menunaikan solat Jumaat di luar kariah tanpa sebab.
