Summary
On 23 November 2004 the Penang State Fatwa Committee found no urgent need to demolish this mosque, as the building is still safe, usable and able to hold the congregation, especially for Friday prayers. However, consideration will be given if the new mosque to be built is larger than the existing one.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mesyuarat mengambil maklum mengenai perkara ini dan mendapati tiada keperluan mendesak bagi meroboh bangunan masjid tersebut yang masih selamat dan boleh digunakan dan dapat menampung bilangan jemaah yang hadir terutamanya solat Jumaat.
