Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed that Masjid Jamek Penaga be upgraded by keeping the existing structure and upgrading part of the mosque. Usable materials are to be handed to any mosque or surau in need. If none needs them, the materials are sold to a person who is of age and sound mind, and the proceeds are used for mosque development when required. Materials that are no longer usable may be buried or left within the mosque grounds to decay naturally, and must not be burned.
