Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to demolish the old Masjid Al-Amin in Sungai Dua. The mosque committee must follow the waqf disposal guidelines, including how movable waqf property that can no longer be used, or whose waqf status has lapsed, is to be handled. The mosque site must also be kept honoured and respected, for example by fencing it and preventing misuse by the local community.
