Summary
The Penang Fatwa Council agreed to the proposed repairs of this mosque. The old roof may be removed entirely, with usable parts reused for the walkway roof and the new toilet roof, and the old toilet building may be demolished and replaced. Damaged items that can no longer be used may be discarded, and unused items that can be sold may be sold, with the proceeds returned as mosque property. The two ablution pools are to be adjusted to a height of 1'6'' each, with two water pipes proposed for each pool.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus dikeluarkan keseluruhan genting-genting/ bumbung lama dan menggunakan mana-mana yang boleh dipakai untuk bumbung tempat laluan (kaki lima) dan bumbung tandas baharu.
