Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the existing mosques on Pulau Pemanggil, Pulau Besar, Pulau Aur, Pulau Tinggi and Pulau Sibu Besar, and the Friday prayer surau at Pulau Sibu Tengah Resort, keep their status. On islands with fewer than 40 worshippers, Friday prayer remains obligatory and is performed by following (talfiq) a school of thought that does not require a congregation of 40. The prayer is to be held as usual.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Manakala pulau yang bilangan jemaahnya kurang daripada 40 orang yang tetap wajib mendirikan solat jumaat dengan bertalfiq kepada mazhab yang tidak mensyaratkan bilangan jemaahnya seramai 40 orang.
