Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the whole of Lot 3301, where the mosque building stands, is wakaf bil fi’li. This is based on the mosque's existence since around the 1820s and the absence of any objection or claim over the land. The Penang Islamic Religious Council is to investigate and confirm the status of Lots 3300, 3304 and 3306, which have mosque-related structures, and Lots 1587 and 1596, which contain graves.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
