Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee permitted the mosque to be demolished and rebuilt, on condition that the plan for the new mosque is first submitted to the committee for further views. Friday and obligatory prayers are allowed at a temporary venue, the Lahar Tabut Sekolah Agama Rakyat, until the new mosque is completed. A decision on relocating five old graves could not yet be made because the construction plan was not provided or presented at the meeting.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
