Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to repair the roof of Masjid Rawana, Northeast District, on condition that the waqf items are disposed of according to the state's method for mosque and surau materials. Materials that are still usable are given to any mosque or surau in need. If none needs them, they are sold to any person who is baligh and sane 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 but left to decay naturally.
