Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposal to demolish and rebuild the surau on Lot 4060 and Lot 6499. The additional building must extend to the rear and sit on Lot 6499 because that lot is conditioned for a surau only, and the new plan must be submitted to the Mufti Department to ensure compliance with Islamic law. Usable materials should be reused or given to a mosque or surau in need, otherwise sold to a person of sound mind who has reached puberty with proceeds kept for the surau, and unusable materials may be buried or left to decay naturally, not burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
