Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to renovate Surau Luqmanul Hakim in Sungai Pinang, on condition that the waqf materials are disposed of according to the prescribed method. Usable materials are given to any mosque or surau that needs them. If none need them, the materials are sold to any person who is of age and sound mind, regardless of religion, and the proceeds are used for developing mosques or suraus. Materials that are no longer usable may be buried or left on the premises, and must not be burned but left to decay naturally.
