Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the rebuilding of the mosque, with a new site plan slightly larger than the original site. The veranda and all overflow areas count as part of the mosque, except the right-side overflow area provided for women in menstruation to attend classes and talks. Signs must distinguish these areas, the stairs to the upper floor must be inside the mosque space so the link between imam and congregation is not broken, and the transverse hall must be separated from the toilets.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Serambi dan semua ruang-ruang Iimpah dikira sebagai masjid kecuali ruang limpah di sebelah kanan untuk memberi kemudahan kepada jemaah wanita yang uzur (haid) bagi mengikuti kelas pengajian, ceramah dan lain-lain.
