Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible to redevelop the site of the old Ubudiah Mosque into a Balai Islam (Islamic centre). The centre is to include a religious primary school and educational programmes for women, such as fardhu ain and kifayah studies, marhaban classes, Quran guidance, IT and cooking. If the old mosque building holds waqf property that can be put to use, the committee advised that its benefit be transferred to the new centre.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
