Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the upgrading of the Permatang Pasir Mosque building on certain conditions. The mosque must obtain technical comments from the Public Works Department on the plans and the works for the proposed two-storey building, and the Mufti Department must review the plans to ensure the continuity of rows and the qudwah requirement under Islamic law. The additional prayer space on the lower level remains a balai lintang, while the upper prayer space is declared part of the mosque. The District Religious Administration Officer must obtain permission from the State Islamic Religious Council under section 99(3) of the Administration of the Religion of Islam (State of Penang) Enactment 2004.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pelan yang dikemukakan tersebut, perlu disemak semula oleh Jabatan Mufti Negeri Pulau Pinang bagi memastikan sambungan saf dan menepati kehendak qudwah menurut hukum syarak bagi jemaah yang berada di ruang solat tambahan.
