Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee agreed that the suspension of all activities at mosques, surau and musolla, including congregational prayers and Friday prayers, be extended until 14 April 2020 or according to the Malaysian government's decisions from time to time. The decision followed the Prime Minister's announcement extending the Movement Control Order. It rests on preventing harm to public health, blocking causes of damage, the fiqh principle that a leader's policy follows public interest, and rising COVID-19 cases in Johor.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
