Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the proposed addition of a one-storey prayer space at this mosque and ruled it permissible (harus). The mosque must relocate the sewage pipes so they are far from and not beneath the mosque grounds or prayer area. The women's bathroom at the front right is to become an ablution room only, with the existing toilets closed. The staircase linking the first floor to the mosque must be built on an area declared as prayer space.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
