Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not permit Friday prayers to be held at Surau Al-Islah, Seberang Perai Prison Complex, for inmates only. The reason given is that Friday prayer is not obligatory upon detainees. The decision was made at the meeting held on 29 March 2012.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
