Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided not to make it a requirement for all mosques to open 24 hours every day. A mosque may still choose to do so. It must first consult the parish (kariah) management and inform the Penang Islamic Religious Affairs Department.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
