Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposed expansion of Seberang Jaya Mosque in Seberang Perai Tengah. The condition is that MAINPP must declare the old side hall on the right and at the back, together with the new additional space, as mosque space. The side hall on the left is not declared as mosque space, so that women who are menstruating or otherwise unable to enter a mosque can study religion and join other religious activities.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
