Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposal to upgrade this mosque, subject to conditions. The District Religious Office must submit the plans to the State Mufti Department for a view on Shariah rulings, provide a Public Works Department (JKR) report on the roof damage, and obtain permission from the Islamic Religious Council under section 99(4) of the 2004 Enactment. The balai lintang is to be retained, and an accessible toilet for disabled persons may be built beside the existing toilets. The building behind the mosque was found suitable as the location for obligatory and Friday prayers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
