Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the old mosque on PTD 20349 may be demolished to make way for rebuilding. The old fittings should be kept for the new mosque, or if not needed, offered to nearby mosques, suraus, madrasahs, surau halls, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If no one needs them and keeping them would damage them, risk their loss or there is no storage, they may be sold, with the proceeds used to buy lasting items for the new mosque such as a minbar, cupboards, carpets and fans.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
