Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible to demolish the old Nurul Iman Mosque building in Serendah for the public interest, once the new mosque has been completed. The reasons given are that the land is not waqf property, the old building was built by the government and is not waqf, and part of the site falls within a road reserve that needs widening. If any waqf property in the old building can still be used, it should be transferred to the new mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
