Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that Friday prayers held by the Bangladeshi worker community at the Poh Huat Furniture Industries factory surau in Parit Lanjut, Bukit Pasir, Muar are not permitted. The reason is that the venue does not meet the requirement of having authorisation from the ruling authority (ulul amri) to hold Friday prayers. The workers are instead required to attend Friday prayers at the nearby Surau Muhammad in Parit Lanjut, which has received such authorisation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, komuniti pekerja Bangladesh yang mendirikan solat di surau kilang tersebut hendaklah mendirikan solat jumaat di surau berhampiran yang telah mendapat- kebenaran mendirikan solat jumaat iaitu di surau Muhammad, Parit Lanjut Bukit Pasir Muar Johor".
