Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee permits the construction of the court on mosque grounds subject to several conditions. The mosque management must confirm the actual land boundaries and run the court itself, and all benefits from it belong to the mosque management. The court is temporary and may be demolished if the site is needed for future mosque development.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Gelanggang sukan ini bersifat sementara dan boleh dirobohkan sekiranya diperlukan untuk tujuan pembangunan masjid pada masa hadapan.
