Summary
The surau is permitted to be demolished so that a new surau building can be constructed. The old fittings should be kept for use in the new surau. If not needed, they are offered to a nearby mosque or surau, then to a madrasah, balai surau, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If no one needs them and keeping them would damage them, risk loss or there is no storage, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans, to preserve the purpose of the waqf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
