Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not give a final ruling and deferred the application to demolish and rebuild the mosque's balai lintang. The deferment lasts until the North East District Religious Administration Officer carries out further investigation. The reason is that expanding the mosque would involve waqf land belonging to the existing school next to the mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
