Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that the request to hold a temporary Friday prayer at the institute's surau has not reached the level of necessity. The reasons include the institute being about 1.5km from Kubang Menerong Mosque within the same qaryah, and transport being available to the mosque. The mosque can also still accommodate its existing congregation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jarak Institut Latihan Perindustrian dengan Masjid Kubang Menerong (dalam satu qaryah) hanya 1 .5km.
