Summary
The decision does not state a final ruling on alternating Friday prayers between two mosques. The meeting unanimously asked a member of the State Shariah Committee to visit both mosques during Friday prayer time. The visit was to determine how many worshippers pray in turns and how many do not, and was to be made together with the relevant district kadi.
