Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposal to upgrade Masjid Permatang Janggus on condition that the new sketch plan is submitted to the State Mufti Department to ensure the mosque's position and layout comply with Islamic law. Usable materials should be reused in the same mosque or given to another mosque or surau in need. If none needs them, they may be sold to a person who is of age and sound mind, with the proceeds used for the mosque when required. Materials that can no longer be used may be buried or left on the site or on other waqf land, and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
