Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to demolish and rebuild Masjid Jamek Al-Qadree. Temporary Friday prayers are permitted at the open hall of Kampung Masjid beside the mosque building. The fatwa also sets guidelines for disposing of movable waqf property: items that may still be useful are kept, given to a nearby mosque or surau, sold, given to the poor and needy, or used for the Muslim community's benefit, while items that are wholly unusable are considered terminated and are given to the waqif's closest family or destroyed in a reasonable and respectful manner.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
