Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not approve the proposal to build a toilet on Lot 534, Mukim 7, South Seberang Perai. The decision rests on Form 14A, which shows the land was granted for use as an Islamic cemetery, so any new construction is not permitted. Existing stalls must be moved when the land is needed for burials in future, and the stall rental income is to be used to clean the existing cemetery.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
