Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee found that the proposed mosque design does not meet the features set out in an earlier fatwa. The Tayyibah phrase should not be placed on the outside of the mosque building, based on the principle of sadd al-dhara'i, and should be placed in a respectful location away from possible defilement or disrespect. The minaret must follow the decision of the Johor Islamic Religious Council, built in a form symbolising Islamic identity like the minarets of Masjid al-Haram, Masjid An Nabawi or the Blue Mosque in Turkey.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kalimah tersebut hendaklah diletakkan di tempat yang mulia iaitu pada kedudukan yang jauh daripada tempat yang boleh menyebabkan berlaku pencemaran dan penghinaan.
