Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to renovate Masjid Tengah on condition that waqf items are disposed of according to the state's method. Usable materials are given to any mosque or surau that needs them. If none need them, the materials are sold to anyone who is of age and sound mind regardless of religion, and the proceeds are used for developing mosques or suraus. Materials that can no longer be used may be buried or left on the mosque grounds and must not be burned.
