Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the construction of an extension in front of this mosque to accommodate a growing congregation, especially during Friday prayers. The District Religious Administration Officer must first obtain permission from the State Islamic Religious Council, and any material change to the mosque structure requires the Council's written consent. Usable materials should be reused or given to another mosque or surau as waqf, or sold to a person of sound mind who has reached puberty, with the proceeds used for the mosque. Unusable materials may be buried or left to decay naturally, and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
