Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee reviewed the plan for a new parish mosque funded by Yayasan Al Bukhari on 3.3 acres of land at a cost of RM6 million. The mosque area must be distinguished from non-mosque areas using different tile colours or types. A staircase must be built inside the mosque so that prayer rows on the upper floor connect with those on the lower floor. An imam's room must be provided to the left of the mihrab, equipped with a toilet and an ablution area.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hendaklah dibezakan ruang masjid dan ruang bukan masjid dengan warna atau jenis tile atau jubin yang berbeza.
