Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the mosque construction plan with several improvements. The balai lintang (transverse hall) areas on the right, on the left and part of the rear are declared as mosque space, while the remaining part of the rear stays non-mosque space for the convenience of women who are unable (uzur) and for suitable activities. The Imam's room on the left of the mihrab and the audio room on the right of the mihrab are not counted as mosque space. A large door must be built so that the deceased can be brought into the mosque easily.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ruang balai lintang di sebelah kanan, kiri dan sebahagian ruang belakang masjid hendaklah diisytiharkan sebagai masjid jua
