Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that Friday prayer remains obligatory on resident Muslim men who belong to the local congregation on that day. Non-resident persons returning to visit family may do so and should come back for Friday prayer if able; if unable, they incur no sin, though it is better to wait until Friday prayer is done after the Eid prayer. Those permitted to skip Friday prayer are women, travelling men, slaves and men who are ill with a valid religious excuse.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pada hari itu (Aidil Fitri dan Aidil Adha jatuh pada hari Jumaat) kewajipan menunaikan solat fardu Jumaat diwajibkan ke atas lelaki muslim yang bermastautin dah ahli kariah setempat.
