Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee decided that permission to hold Friday prayers at the Johor State Government Administrative Centre in Nusajaya cannot be granted, as it does not meet the requirements and conditions of Islamic law. Among the reasons are that the area has no permanent residents and that Friday prayers could not be held when Friday is a public holiday. Suggested alternatives are the Old Mosque of Kampung Felcra Tebing Runtuh, Surau Taman Nusa Perintis 1, or Masjid Jamek Gelang Patah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
