When will the temporary Friday prayer approval at IOI City Mall end?

Question

Accepted Answer

The temporary approval for Friday prayers at Musala IOI City Mall will cease upon the completion and operational readiness of a new mosque in the vicinity.

Permission to conduct Friday prayers at the Musala IOI City Mall in Putrajaya was granted effective September 6, 2024. This approval is explicitly temporary and is set to conclude once a new mosque, situated near the mall premises, is fully constructed and capable of accommodating the congregants' needs. The decision to grant this temporary permission was made by the Selangor State Mosque and Surau Governance Committee (JATUMS) with the consent of the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
Rationale for Temporary Approval

The temporary authorisation was issued after an assessment revealed a significant number of male Muslim workers and a high volume of Muslim visitors in the area. These individuals faced difficulties performing their Friday prayers at the nearest mosques, Masjid Al-Mustaqim Kampung Dato’ Abu Bakar Baginda and Masjid Uniten, Kajang, both located approximately 7.6 to 7.7 kilometres away. Furthermore, the existing mosques were deemed unable to accommodate the large number of attendees.
Conditions for Cessation of Approval

The condition for the termination of the temporary Friday prayer approval at Musala IOI City Mall is directly tied to the completion of a new mosque. This new facility must not only be built but also be fully operational and equipped to serve the religious needs of the community, including the workers in the IOI City Mall vicinity. Until this new mosque is ready, the current arrangement at the mall's musala will persist.
Oversight and Future Management

The Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS), in conjunction with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS), is committed to overseeing the management and execution of Friday prayers across the state. Their objective is to ensure all religious observances are conducted in an orderly fashion, adhering to Islamic law and relevant legal provisions, thereby safeguarding the interests of the Muslim community in Selangor.
