Summary

The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that holding temporary Friday prayers at Surau Jannatul Firdaus, JMTI is not permitted. The first reason is that Masjid Tuan Haji Mohd Desa in Bukit Minyak can still accommodate the current number of congregants. The second reason is that JMTI students and staff can perform Friday prayers at the Surau of Kolej Vokasional Seberang Perai.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
