Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that a temporary Friday prayer may be permitted based on several parameters. These include a suitable surau or venue with adequate facilities, an existing mosque that cannot hold the congregation or is under repair, and a nearest mosque that is 2 kilometres away or less but is difficult for worshippers to reach. The congregation must exceed 40 adult male residents, and travellers may be counted only with the Fatwa Committee's approval. The surau needs a committee, the Religious Administration Officer must give a certification, and the temporary period is set by the religious authority.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
