Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to upgrade the roof of Masjid Al-Abidin, Pinang Tunggal, and to hold temporary Friday prayers at Surau Kampung Setol. Old materials that are still usable are to be given to another mosque or surau in need. If none needs them, they are sold to a person who is of age and sound mind, and the proceeds go to mosque or surau development. Materials that can no longer be used may be buried or left on the new mosque grounds, and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya tidak ada, maka bahan-bahan tersebut hendaklah dijual kepada sesiapa sahaja, asalkan sudah baligh dan berakal.
