Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to rebuild a new mosque on Lot 1887 GM 1196, Mukim 1, North Seberang Perai, as a Ghairul Jamek mosque where Friday prayers are not held. This is because a larger mosque already exists nearby for Friday prayers. The construction plan was stated to comply with Islamic law, and the new mosque must stand on the site of the old one. The handover of the site from the Federal Government to the State Islamic Religious Council as waqf is to be completed promptly.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
