Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that Friday prayers may be held at the centre according to one qaul in the Shafi'i school. The condition is that each Friday at least 12 people performing the prayer must be permanent residents of the place, and this number is obligatory under the ruling of Islamic law. Under that qaul, the consent of the Sultan as the state's Wali Amal must be obtained.
