Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the proposal to add balai lintang space to Masjid Jamek Ara Kuda in North Seberang Perai. The District Religious Office must first obtain written permission from MAINPP, as section 99(4) of the Administration of Islamic Religion Enactment 2004 prohibits material changes to a mosque structure without it. Usable materials are to be reused or given to another mosque in need; failing that, they are sold to a person who is of age and sound mind, and the proceeds are to be used for the mosque when needed. Unusable materials may be buried or left on the site or on other waqf land, and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tiada perubahan yang material kepada struktur masjid boleh dibuat tanpa kebenaran bertulis daripada Majis.
