May a leaking mosque roof be demolished and Friday prayers be held temporarily in the mosque car park?
Short answer
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the demolition of the roof of Masjid Permatang Sungai Dua due to leakage, on condition that a Building (roof) Inspection Assessment Report from the Public Works Department is obtained, since the project involves waqf property.

Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the demolition of the roof of Masjid Permatang Sungai Dua due to leakage, on condition that a Building (roof) Inspection Assessment Report from the Public Works Department is obtained, since the project involves waqf property. Temporary Friday prayers in the mosque car park were also approved. Demolished materials such as timber, iron and stone should be reused where still usable, in order to preserve the waqf property.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
