Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the mosque building plan with several improvements. The side and part of the rear transverse hall areas are to be declared as mosque space, while part of the rear remains non-mosque space for the convenience of women in menstruation and suitable activities. The Imam's room beside the left of the mihrab and the Audio room on the right are not counted as mosque space, and a large door is to be built so that the deceased can be brought in easily.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ruang balai lintang di sebelah kanan, kiri dan sebahagian ruang belakang masjid hendaklah diisytiharkan sebagai masjid jua
