Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to demolish and rebuild Masjid Jamek Cherok Tokun Bawah. Temporary Friday prayers are permitted at the Dewan Orang Ramai Jalan Kolam. Movable waqf items that may still be useful are kept, or handed to a nearby mosque or surau, sold, given to the poor and needy, or used for the Muslim community's benefit, in that order. Items that can no longer be used at all are considered to have lost their waqf status, and are given to the waqif's closest family or disposed of reasonably with respect for their dignity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
