Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposed extension to the front of the mosque, limited to 25 feet. The local congregation must submit the new plan to the State Mufti Department to ensure the mosque's position and layout comply with Islamic law. Usable materials should be reused or given to another mosque or surau in need, or otherwise sold to a sane adult buyer with the proceeds used for the mosque. Unusable materials may be buried or left on the site or on other waqf land, and must not be burned.
