Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposal to upgrade As-Soghir Mosque by adding a floor and extending the roof for more prayer space and religious activities. The North East District Religious Administration Officer must first obtain permission from the State Islamic Religious Council under section 99(4) of the Islamic Religious Administration Enactment 2004. Waqf building materials that must be disposed of should be reused or given to a mosque or surau in need, or sold to a person of age and sound mind with the proceeds used for the mosque. Materials that are no longer usable may be buried or left on the site or other waqf land, and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tiada perubahan yang material kepada struktur masjid boleh dibuat tanpa kebenaran bertulis daripada Majlis.
