Is a temporary Friday prayer held at a matriculation college valid when the village mosque cannot accommodate the students?
Short answer
The Penang Syariah Committee ruled that the Friday prayer previously held at the college is valid according to the Hanafi school and one opinion within the Shafii school, namely that Friday prayer by residents who are settled there is valid.

Summary
The Penang Syariah Committee ruled that the Friday prayer previously held at the college is valid according to the Hanafi school and one opinion within the Shafii school, namely that Friday prayer by residents who are settled there is valid. The nearby village mosque could not hold the very large number of students. Holding more than one Friday prayer in a single village is permitted when circumstances require it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berbilang Jumaat diharuskan dalam satu qaryah sekiranya keadaan memerlukan.
