Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not approve the mosque expansion and expressed regret that neither the Fatwa Committee nor MAINPP was consulted beforehand. It urged MAINPP to take firm action and halt construction until planning permission from the Seberang Perai Municipal Council and a ruling from the Fatwa Committee are obtained. The fatwa also cites Section 97(2) of the Islamic Administration Enactment 2004, which provides a fine of up to three thousand ringgit, imprisonment of up to one year, or both.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
