Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that Taman Banang Jaya Mosque, which is completed and usable, is permitted for use, while the temporary permission for Friday prayers at Taman Banang Jaya Surau is withdrawn. The District Kadi must make announcements on the last Friday at the surau and the first Friday at the mosque, and the congregation must be informed. The fatwa also reminds that the Sultan of Johor's remarks be followed, including relocating Quranic verses, calligraphy, frames and digital clocks from the front wall or mihrab of the main prayer hall.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masjid Taman Banang Jaya, Batu Pahat johor yang telah siap dibina dan boleh digunakan diberi kebenaran untuk digunakan, manakala kebenaran Solat Jumaat sementara di Surau Taman Banang Jaya, Jalan Gemilang, Batu Pahat Johor adalah ditarik balik kebenarannya.
