Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the application to build a multipurpose hall or open court on the lot, subject to several conditions. Activities must comply with Islamic law, use is limited to midnight, the purpose is to support dakwah rather than merely earn rental profit, and the needs of the mosque and religious school take priority. MAINPP may withdraw permission immediately if any condition is breached. The JKKK Hall must also pay rent, including arrears, to the mosque and religious school because the hall stands on waqf land.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Penggunaan dewan/gelanggang terbuka tersebut, hendaklah dihadkan sehingga jam 12:00 tengah malam sahaja.
