Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to upgrade the prayer space and landscape of Bukit Bendera Mosque, Northeast District. The Qaryah Committee was agreed to consider an observation area for astronomy (falak) studies within the mosque grounds. Reusable materials are to be reused at the mosque or given to another mosque in need; otherwise they are sold to a person of age and sound mind, with proceeds used for the mosque. Materials that can no longer be used may be buried or left to decay naturally, and must not be burned.
