Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee deferred the application to upgrade this mosque and expressed regret that the matter was not first referred to the committee. The responsible committee must replace the damaged waqf property using its own funds, not mosque funds, because the renovation was done without any ruling under Syarak. The curved section of the mihrab must be straightened so the verse can be corrected, and the hadith excerpt must be resubmitted to the Penang State Mufti Department for verification.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
