Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposal to build the 1 1/2 storey surau subject to two conditions. First, the stairs to the upper level must be inside the prayer space so that the link between the imam and congregants praying on the upper level is not broken. Second, the architect must prepare a new plan for submission to the Mufti to confirm that the position of the stairs complies with Islamic law.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
