Fatwa Mengenai Solat Jumaat Di Surau Paya Kongsi, Daerah Barat Daya.
Is it permissible to hold Friday prayers at Surau Paya Kongsi in the Barat Daya District, Penang?
Short answer
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that Friday prayers are not permitted at the surau, because two Friday prayers would then be held in one qaryah, and Masjid Kongsi has existed there earlier.

Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that Friday prayers are not permitted at the surau, because two Friday prayers would then be held in one qaryah, and Masjid Kongsi has existed there earlier. If two Friday prayers occur simultaneously, or there is doubt whether they were simultaneous and which came first, both are invalid. The congregation must then gather at one place to repeat the Friday prayer if time remains ample, or perform Zohor if time is short. The State Islamic Religious Council is asked to act promptly to prevent two Friday prayers in the same qaryah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mesyua rat telah memutuskan untuk tidak membenarkan solat Jumaat dilaksanakan di surau tersebut kerana akan berlaku dua solat Jumaat dalam satu qaryah.
