Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to and approved the proposal to upgrade Masjid Jamek Kampung Rawa, including demolishing part of the existing building and constructing three-storey buildings on Lot 1486 and Lot 252. The approval is conditional: the new mosque plan must be submitted to the Mufti Department to ensure the position and layout comply with Islamic law. The roof and front structure of the mosque must be kept as originally built, and the proposal paper must be resubmitted with complete building plans.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bumbung masjid dan struktur bahagian hadapan masjid hendaklah dikekalkan seperti kedudukan yang asal kerana masih kukuh dan boleh digunakan lagi.
