Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permits Masjid Parit Terus to be demolished to make way for a new mosque building. The old fittings must be kept for use in the new mosque, and if not needed, offered to nearby mosques or suraus, then to madrasahs, balai suraus, student hostels or the Islamic Welfare Centre. If no one needs them and storing them would damage or lose them, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cabinets, carpets and fans for the new mosque, so as to preserve the purpose of the endowment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
