Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the proposal to add a new one-storey prayer space at this mosque is permissible. The mosque must relocate the sewage pipes so that they are far from, and not beneath, the mosque grounds or prayer space. The women's bathroom at the front right is to become an ablution room only, and the existing toilet is to be closed. The staircase linking the first floor to the mosque must be built on an area declared as prayer space.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
