Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the proposal to demolish and rebuild the Al-Hidayah Mosque building in Bayan Lepas. The Mosque Committee must follow the Guidelines on Disposal of Waqf Property That Cannot Be Disposed Of. Movable waqf property that may still be useful is kept, given to a nearby mosque or surau, sold, given to the poor and needy, or used for the public good of Muslims, in that order. Property that can no longer be used at all is considered to have its waqf ended, and is given to the nearest relatives of the donor or destroyed reasonably while preserving its dignity.
