Summary
The Syariah Committee agreed that Friday prayers be established at Masjid Haji Saad and continue at Masjid Acheh Kebun Lama, as nearby worshippers are numerous and exceed the required number. For Seberang Jaya, the matter was deferred for further study and referred to the Penang Islamic Religious Council, and residents are to pray at nearby mosques in the meantime. Friday prayers at Masjid Kampung Bharu will not be held after the explanation given to the relevant Qaryah Committee.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jawatankuasa Syariah memutuskan bersetuju supaya sembahyang Jumaat diteruskan di Masjid Acheh Kebun Lama, Pulau Pinang seperti mana yang berjalan sekarang kerana kehadiran jemaah dari kawasan berhampiran ramai dan mencukupi daripada yang disyaratkan.
