Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the construction of the building, subject to conditions. The madrasah must consult the named owners of the land in the title, since the land is jointly owned. The building may not be designated a mosque until the named owners consent, and it must be handed over to the Penang Islamic Religious Council as waqf under Sections 94, 95 and 96 of the Penang Islamic Religious Administration Enactment 2004.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak dibenarkan bangunan tersebut dijadikan sebagai masjid kecuali setelah mendapat persetujuan penama-penama bagi tanah tersebut
