Summary
The Penang Fatwa Committee did not issue a ruling or guidelines on the matter in this decision. It resolved that the Mosque and Surau Management Division of the Penang Islamic Religious Affairs Department refer the request to the Shariah Review Panel of JAKIM. The outcome on this issue therefore depends on that panel's decision.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
