Summary
The Penang Syar'iyyah Committee agreed to allow a separate Friday prayer for the Masjid Sungai Dua Pekan congregation in North Seberang Perai. Permission was given after a declaration by the Mufti, once the matter had been brought by the Head of the Congregation Unit to the Penang State Islamic Religious Council. The congregation was also asked to find a suitable site to build a new mosque.
