Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the completed new Felda Semenchu Mosque building, which is fit for use, is permitted to be used. Permission for Friday prayers at the multipurpose hall is withdrawn until a contrary announcement is made. The District Kadi must make announcements on the last Friday at the hall and the first Friday at the new mosque, and the congregation must be informed. The fatwa also notes the Sultan of Johor's reprimands: no business space within the mosque grounds, and Quranic verses, calligraphy and digital clocks on the wall or mihrab of the main prayer hall are to be moved elsewhere.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
