Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that temporary Friday prayers are not permitted at Surau Plaza Ivory. Two reasons were given: the surau building is rather small and unsuitable for temporary Friday prayers, and nearby mosques can still accommodate the current number of worshippers. The decision was made at a meeting held on 15 and 16 February 2023.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
