Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the full roof upgrade of Kuala Juru Mosque because the roof is old, damaged and a risk to worshippers. Friday prayers are suspended at the mosque during the works, and Friday and congregational obligatory prayers are held at the Dewan Bomba Sukarela Kuala Juru. Written permission from the State Islamic Religious Council is required under section 99(3) of the Islamic Administration Enactment 2004. Usable materials are reused or given to another mosque or surau, otherwise sold to a mature and sane buyer with proceeds kept for the mosque, and unusable materials are buried or left in place and not burnt.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
