Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that the reasons given and the District Kadi's report were not sufficient to permit demolishing the mosque and replacing it with a new building. The exception is where the mosque truly cannot be expected to remain safe from collapse and is unsafe for worshippers because of its poor condition. Waqf property such as mosques is under the care of the Head of the Johor Religious Department as Special Nazir, and any issues should first be referred to him.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
