Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the demolition of Masjid Jamek Lahar Kepar subject to several conditions. The plan for the new mosque must first be submitted to the committee for further views. The new mosque must be built with two storeys, and if it is rebuilt with the same floor area, demolition is not permitted. The plan must also account for a larger congregation capacity, and other decisions will follow once the plan is submitted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
