Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the upgrading of Padang Benggali Mosque on condition that the Religious Administration Officer submits the construction plan to the State Mufti Department. Daily congregational prayers and Friday prayers were allowed temporarily at Sekolah Agama Al-Falah during the works. Usable materials go to a mosque in need, otherwise they are sold to a person of sound mind who has reached puberty with proceeds kept for the mosque, and unusable materials may be buried or left to decay but not burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
