Summary
The text provided only sets out the background to the matter. The two mosques previously held Friday prayers in alternating weeks, and a member of the Sungai Dua Pekan congregation has now applied to the Penang Islamic Religious Council under Section 67 of the religious administration enactment to change the parish boundary. A committee was scheduled to visit both mosques on the night of 31.3.1996, and the text does not state a ruling or final decision.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masjid lama Sungai Dua dan baharu ini adalah dahulunya bersembahyang Jumaat bergilir-gilir seminggu di Masjid lama Sungai Dua Pekan dan minggu berikutnya di Masjid Sungai Dua Baharu.
