Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that the parts of the wall patterns at this mosque that cause ambiguity when viewed must be covered. The Penang Islamic Religious Department is also to issue a circular to all mosque Qaryah chairmen. Any beautification, carving and decoration works inside a mosque must first be referred to the State Islamic Religious Department or the State Mufti Department.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
