Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposed design and redevelopment plan for Masjid Jamek Batu Maung, as it met the requirements of Islamic law. The mosque committee must first notify the Fatwa Committee before the mosque is demolished. This is on condition that the funds needed to build the new mosque are already sufficient.
