Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the proposal to demolish and rebuild the mosque because the existing building is too small for the growing number of worshippers. Friday prayers may be held temporarily at the nearby Masjid Maqbul, as it lies within the same qaryah. The decision was communicated to the Penang Islamic Religious Department and the Northeast District Religious Office, and the relocation was declared on 3 September 2004.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mesyuarat bersetuju berhubung dengan perkara ini dengan alasan masjid yang sedia ada terlalu sempit dan tidak dapat menampung jumlah jemaah yang semakin bertambah
