Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permits an exemption from holding Friday prayers at the surau when student numbers drop during the semester break. UiTM is nevertheless expected to take initiative, as far as possible, to ensure the surau is filled with worshippers for Friday prayers every week. The decision was made on 13 December 2016 and is not gazetted.
