Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee, at its meeting No. 3/2022, did not agree to the proposal by Tenaga Nasional Berhad to build a mosque on a strata podium on lot 7157, Mukim 1, Jalan Baru, Seberang Perai Tengah. The reason given is that the Penang Islamic Places of Worship Guidelines require the developer to set aside a land area for building a mosque for the religious activities of Muslims.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
