Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Board decided that every mosque authorised to hold Friday prayers and having at least 40 adult male residents (mukallaf) must perform the Friday prayer. Where the congregation is fewer than 40, the Zuhr prayer should be performed after the Friday prayer as a precaution (ihtiyat). Holding Friday prayers in certain special circumstances requires special permission from the Sarawak Islamic Council.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Setiap masjid yang mempunyai kebenaran untuk melaksanakan solat Jumaat dan mencukupi bilangan penduduk 40 orang lelaki mukallaf wajib mendirikan solat Jumaat.
