Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted Masjid Al-Husna Segamat Baru to close temporarily for roof repair work. Resident congregants who normally pray Friday there are to hold Friday prayers at the Kolej Vokasional Segamat surau until a contrary announcement is made. The congregation must be informed beforehand, and the district kadi makes announcements on the last Friday at the mosque and the first Friday at the surau. Removed building materials are to be kept for the mosque or offered to nearby mosques, suraus, madrasahs or Islamic community centres, and may be sold if necessary, with the proceeds used to buy lasting items for the new mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masjid Al-Husna Segamat Baru diberi kebenaran untuk ditutup buat sementara waktu bagi memberi laluan kepada kerja membaik pulih bumbung masjid.
