A reference, not a fatwa. First sentence of the summary below — read the original fatwa and consult your state authority before acting.

Date: 3 October 2006
Status: Fatwa committee decision
Series: Fatwa Negeri Johor
Topic: Endowment (Waqf) & Religious Property

No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.

Summary

The Johor Fatwa Committee permits the construction if there is no need to expand the mosque within a certain period, provided it is used for the Muslim community, especially activities that guide and strengthen the mosque's takmir. The building must be handed to the Johor Islamic Religious Council (Waqf Division) as waqf property and administered under Masjid Jamek Taman Pelangi. The land used must not exceed actual need, the waqf land must remain within the mosque grounds, and the building must be ready to be demolished if the mosque needs to expand.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Bangunan yang akan didirikan hendaklah diserah kepada Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Johor (Bahagian Wakaf) sebagai harta wakaf
