Summary
The existing mosques and Friday prayer surau on Pulau Pemanggil, Pulau Besar, Pulau Aur, Pulau Tinggi, Pulau Sibu Besar and Pulau Sibu Tengah Resort retain their status. On islands with fewer than 40 permanent residents, Friday prayer remains obligatory and is to be performed by following a school of thought that does not require a congregation of 40. The prayer is carried out in the usual manner.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Manakala pulau yang bilangannya kurang daripada 40 orang tetap, wajib mendirikan solat Jumaat dengan bertaklid kepada mazhab yang tidak mensyaratkan bilangan jemaahnya seramai 40 orang.
