Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed that Friday prayers may be held at the camp surau. The reasons are that the nearest mosque cannot accommodate the congregation, and overflow is a ground for allowing more than one Friday prayer within one qaryah. The nearest mosque is also 4.5 km away, beyond 2 km, which makes attendance difficult for a large congregation unless prayer at the surau is permitted temporarily. Local residents or members of the qaryah must be allowed to pray together.
