Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposal to upgrade Masjid Jamek Sungai Tiram to accommodate 3,000 worshippers. Usable materials should be reused in the same mosque or given to another mosque that needs them. If no mosque needs them, they are sold to anyone who is of age and sound mind, and the proceeds are used for that mosque when required. Materials that can no longer be used may be buried or left on the site or on other waqf land, and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mesyuarat bersetuju dan meluluskan Cadangan Menaiktaraf Bangunan Masjid Jamek Sungai Tiram yang akan menampung jemaah seramai 3,000 orang.
