Summary
The Penang Syariah Committee ruled that the Friday prayer held at Pongsu Seribu Matriculation College, Kepala Batas is valid according to the Hanafi school and one opinion within the Shafi'i school, namely that it is valid for those who are resident. The qaryah mosque could not accommodate the very large number of college students. Holding multiple Friday prayers within one qaryah is permitted when circumstances require it.
