Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the replacement of the Sungai Burung Mosque roof and the use of the Sekolah Agama Rakyat hall for temporary Friday prayers until a date to be announced. A site visit and a declaration of the temporary prayer venue must take place before the work begins, and the Southwest District Religious Office must first obtain MAINPP permission under section 99(4) of the 2004 Islamic Administration Enactment. Usable materials are to be reused or given to another mosque in need. If no mosque needs them, they are sold to a buyer who is of age and sound mind with the proceeds kept for the mosque, while unusable materials may be buried or left to decay and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
