Summary

The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the demolition of Masjid Parit Simis to make way for a new mosque. Congregants who reside and pray at the mosque are to perform Friday prayers at a nearby mosque. The Balai Raya Kampung Parit Simis is permitted only for the five daily prayers until a contrary declaration is made, so it is not to be used as a temporary Friday prayer venue.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Masjid Parit Simis, Mukim 18, Seri Medan, Batu Pahat, Johor diberi kebenaran untuk dirobohkan bagi memberi laluan kepada pembinaan semula masjid yang baru.
