Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee permitted the demolition of Surau An Nur in Kampung Parit Wahab. Materials from the old surau should be kept for the new surau, or if not needed, offered to a nearby mosque or surau, and then to a madrasah, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If no one needs them and they would deteriorate, be lost or lack storage, they may be sold, with the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans for the new surau in order to preserve the purpose of the waqf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
