Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the proposal to build a new two-storey mosque for the Taman Pelangi congregation in Juru, on Lot PT 4618, Mukim 11, Central Seberang Perai. The approval came with two required changes. The women's prayer area must lie entirely behind the male congregation rather than at the left or right corner, and a special access at the front must be provided for the imam to enter and exit.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ruang solat wanita hendaklah secara keseluruhannya berada di belakang makmun lelaki dan bukannya di sudut kiri atau kanan masjid.
