Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that holding Friday prayers at Surau Al Marjan is permissible. The reason is that nearby mosques can no longer accommodate the large and overflowing congregation. The ruling rests on the view that Friday prayers may be held in more than one place when there is a need and gathering in a single place is difficult, including when the prayer space is too small.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum mendirikan solat Jumaat di Surau Al Marjan, Kariah Masjid Jalan Hatin, Daerah Timur Laut, Pulau Pinang adalah harus kerana masjid-masjid berdekatan tidak lagi dapat menampung kepadatan para jamaah serta melimpah.
