Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not approve the application to use part of the mosque site as an Islamic burial ground. The reason given is that it conflicts with the express conditions in the Provisional Title (Grant). The meeting suggested that the parties apply to amend the express condition so the land is used for the New Merbau Kudong Mosque site, Sungai Dua and other religious activities.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mesyuarat mengambil keputusan tidak meluluskan permohonan tersebut kerana ianya bertentangan dengan Syarat-Syarat Nyata dalam Suratan Hakmilik Sementara (Geran).
