Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that this surau, which has been completed and is ready for use, is permitted to be used. The decision must be communicated to the local community, especially the resident population. On the last Friday before Friday prayers are held there, the district qadi must declare, on behalf of the Johor Islamic Religious Council, that the surau is a Friday prayer venue. Quranic verses, framed calligraphy and digital wall clocks placed on the front wall or at the mihrab of the main prayer hall must be moved elsewhere, following the Sultan of Johor's directive.
