Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not allow and rejected the application to hold separate Friday prayers at these two mosques. The reasons include concern that Melayu Lebuh Acheh Mosque would lose congregants, and congregants tending to prefer Kapitan Keling Mosque because it lies beside a main road and offers more comfortable parking. The fatwa also notes that no formal written agreement from both mosques was submitted to the committee.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
