Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee is of the view that construction of the mosque on the proposed site may proceed, provided the conditions in item 2.3 referred to in the decision are met. This view rests on the need to establish an Islamic symbol in the centre of Johor Bahru, and on the bio-mechanical sewage treatment plant being judged not to disturb the mosque. The mosque is separated from the Asean Village and Artificial Beach, and the authorities will issue guidelines so activities there do not disturb worshippers. It will serve workers, traders, visitors and local residents, and the nearest mosque is about 3 km away.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dengan itu Lujnah Fatwa berpandangan masjid yang dicadangkan bolehlah diteruskan pembinaanya di atas tapak yang dicadangkan dengan mematuhi syarat-syarat seperti perkara 2.3
