Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the demolition and rebuilding of the mosque on condition that sufficient funds are available. Closing the mosque was permitted because it was unsafe according to the Public Works Department report, and temporary Friday prayers may be held at Surau Darul Hidayah. Usable materials go to mosques or suraus in need, otherwise they are sold to any sane adult regardless of religion with the proceeds kept for the mosque, while unusable materials may be buried or left to decay and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
