Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the old surau on PTD 32094 may be demolished in accordance with Islamic law in order to build a religious school. Its fittings should be kept for future use or used in the new school, and if not needed, offered to nearby mosques, suraus, madrasahs, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If no one needs them and storage would damage the items, risk their loss or no storage is available, they may be sold and the proceeds placed in the Johor State Mosque Development Fund.
