Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that Friday prayer remains obligatory for Muslim men who are residents and members of the local community, even when Eid falls on a Friday. A person who is not from the local community and returns to visit family is permitted to do so, and should return for Friday prayer if able, with no sin if unable to return. Those allowed to skip Friday prayer are women, male travellers, slaves and men who are ill or have a valid excuse.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pada hari itu (Aidilfitri dan Aidiladha jatuh pada hari Jumaat) kewajiban menunaikan solat fardhu Jumaat diwajibkan keatas lelaki Muslim yang bermastautin dan ahli qariah setempat.
