Summary
The Penang Syariah Committee ruled that there is no prohibition on performing Friday prayer in another parish. The condition is that a person's absence must not affect the conduct of the Friday obligation in his own parish. An advisory letter is to be sent to the committees of the mosques concerned so that the practice does not continue to the point of influencing other congregants, in order to preserve brotherhood among local worshippers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
tiada tegahan bagi seseorang untuk keluar menunaikan solat Jumaat ke kariah lain selagi sepeninggalannya itu tidak menjejaskan Fardu Jumaat di kariahnya sendiri.
