Summary
One condition for a valid Friday prayer is the presence of at least 40 resident male worshippers. If this cannot be met because of a directive from the Ministry of Education Malaysia, the Friday prayer at the college mosque is replaced with the Zohor prayer. While the Movement Control Order to curb COVID-19 remains in force, the college must follow the directives of the Kedah Islamic Religious Affairs Department from time to time.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Antara syarat sah solat Jumaat hendaklah terdiri daripada sekurang - kurangnya empat puluh (40) orang lelaki yang bermastautin.
