Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposed swap of Lot 10514 with the land applied for alienation next to Lot 10059, Mukim 13, Northeast District. The reasons were that Lot 10514 is far from residential settlements and smaller (0.11095 acres versus 0.39027 acres). It also adjoins a mostly non-Muslim housing area, so the surau might be hard to keep active, while the new site is near a mostly Muslim population.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
