Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the proposal to upgrade the mosque. The condition is that the new prayer space must be built on the site of the old mosque, and the two nearby mosques are ruled to be one mosque. The qaryah must also ensure that any future disposal of waqf property follows the proper rules for disposing of waqf assets.
