Summary
The Penang Syariah Committee approved the application to set up a temporary prayer area in the front yard of a mosque. Friday prayers and congregational prayers are permitted there as requested. The permission rests on the same textual evidences and on an earlier Syariah Committee decision from 1986.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jawatankuasa Syariah bersetuju dengan permohonan tersebut dan membenarkan diadakan tempat sembahyang sementara dan mengadakan sembahyang Jumaat dan jamaah seperti yang dipohon.
