Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the proposal to build a new two-storey mosque on Lot 3908, Mukim 8, North Seberang Perai. The old mosque must continue to be well maintained as a mosque and kept active with religious activities. On the ground floor, the mosque space is the enclosed interior and the open area to the left of the imam up to grid J only, while the open areas to the right of the imam and at the rear are not mosque space. The whole upper floor is mosque space except the ablution area and reading room, and the women's ablution area must be screened from public view.
