Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that holding a temporary Friday prayer at Surau Al-Mustaqim, Bandar Cassia is permissible. The permission is conditional on there still being a clear overflow of congregants at Masjid Ar-Rayyan, Bandar Cassia. The ruling relies on Mughni al-Muhtaj, which allows more than one Friday prayer in a locality when it is large and gathering everyone in one place is difficult, according to the extent of the need.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
