Summary
The Penang Fatwa Committee ruled that the Friday prayer held on 1 July 2016 at Masjid Sungai Rusa, Balik Pulau was invalid because the second sermon did not include the pillar of praising Allah. According to the relied-upon view of the Shafi'i school, praising Allah, sending blessings upon the Prophet and exhorting to piety must be recited in both sermons, while reciting a Quranic verse in one of the sermons and supplicating for the believers are also pillars. Congregants who performed that Friday prayer were required to make up the Zuhr prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
