Summary
The fatwa committee meeting approved the application for the entire foyer or concourse of Abdullah Fahim Mosque to be treated as not part of the mosque space. The mosque committee must place signs at suitable spots and keep the door aligned with the first row open during congregational prayers. Worshippers must also be informed that the area is not mosque space, so the Tahiyyatul Masjid prayer and i'tikaf are not recommended there.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
