May Al-Ehsan Mosque in Sungai Pinang be demolished and rebuilt, and how should its waqf assets be handled?

Summary

The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the proposal to demolish and rebuild Al-Ehsan Mosque, and allowed temporary Friday prayers at Madrasah Raiyyah Islamiah Sungai Pinang. It set guidelines for disposing of movable waqf assets: items that may still be useful are kept or given to a nearby mosque or surau, sold, given to the poor and needy, or used for the public interest of Muslims, in that order. Assets that can no longer be used at all are regarded as ending their waqf status and are given to the waqif's closest family or destroyed reasonably while preserving their dignity. Public donations collected for repairing the mosque may be used to buy nearby land for parking, with an announcement made to the public.
