Summary
The meeting granted permission for the school to build a mosque within its grounds. Once completed, students may use it for congregational prayers and the usual religious activities. The proposal to hold Friday prayers there was not decided and will be handled later through consultation with the To'Kun, Kampung Baru and Alma mosque qaryah committee, the setting of the qaryah area and the appointment of a qaryah committee for the school mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
