Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the new design plan for the mosque. The three-storey building behind the mosque must allow for extension of prayer rows, on condition that the ground-floor door aligns with the mosque's rear door and is opened during congregational prayers, and that the rows face the qibla. Material changes to the mosque structure require written permission from the State Islamic Religious Council. Usable materials should be reused or given to another mosque or surau, otherwise sold with proceeds kept for the mosque, while unusable materials may be buried or left to decay but not burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hendaklah memastikan saf di dalam bangunan tersebut menghadap ke arah kiblat ketika melaksanakan solat, kerana reka bentuk bangunan yang dikemukakan tidak menghadap ke arah kiblat.
