Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the demolition of Surau Al Maksum so that a new surau building can be constructed. The old fittings should be kept for use in the new surau, or if not needed, offered to a nearby mosque or surau, and failing that, to a madrasah, balai surau, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If no one needs them, and keeping them would damage the items, risk their loss or there is no storage place, they may be sold. The proceeds should buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans for the new surau, preserving the purpose of the endowment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
