Summary
The Kedah State Mufti Department held that there is no sufficiently reasonable cause or shariah necessity that can be established to support the request to move the temporary Friday prayer venue. Surau Nurussaadah had been upgraded to a Ghairu Jami' Mosque with the Sultan of Kedah's consent and is retained as the temporary venue until the new mosque is completed. This allows worshippers to continue performing iktikaf, the Tahiyyatul Masjid prayer and other voluntary acts there, unlike Surau Al-Abrar, which does not hold Ghairu Jami' Mosque status.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
