Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to build an extension to accommodate the growing congregation, especially during Friday prayers. The Southwest District Religious Administration Officer must first obtain permission from the State Islamic Religious Council under section 99(3) of the Islamic Religious Administration Enactment 2004. Usable materials should be reused or given to other mosques or suraus as waqf, or sold to a person of age and sound mind with the proceeds used for the mosque. Unusable materials may be buried or left on the site or other waqf land, and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
