Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee agreed that the foyer of the Tanjung Pelepas Port office in Gelang Patah may serve as a temporary venue for Friday prayers until renovation of Surau Al-Taqwa is completed. The foyer must be cleaned before each prayer and the sermon must be audible to 40 congregants. Worshippers are to be informed that there is no tahiyyatul masjid prayer and no iktikaf intention in the foyer. Staff and customer entry and exit routes must not pass through the foyer during the prayer.
