Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee permits Friday prayers to be held at the new mosque, which has been completed and is ready for use. The permission for temporary Friday prayers at the village surau is withdrawn, so Muslims residing in the area must perform Friday prayers at the new mosque. The congregation must be informed beforehand, and the District Kadi must make a declaration on the last Friday at the surau and on the first Friday at the new mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
