Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that permission for Friday prayer at Tanjung Selabu Mosque is withdrawn temporarily until a further announcement is made. Local residents must perform Friday prayer at another mosque, preferably a nearby one. The mosque keeps its status as a mosque and is not downgraded to a surau. Permission will be issued again if the congregation meets the required number under the Shafi'i school.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
