Summary
The Johor fatwa permits the demolition of An Nur Mosque at Perumahan Mara to make way for a new mosque building. The congregation must be informed, and the District Kadi must make a declaration at the last Friday prayer held there. Old fittings are kept for the new mosque, or offered to nearby mosques, suraus, madrasahs or Islamic community centres if not needed. If no one needs them, or they would spoil or be lost, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items for the new mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masjid An Nur Perumahan Mara Johor Bahru, diberi kebenaran untuk dirobohkan bagi memberi laluan kepada pembinaan bangunan masjid yang baru.
