Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permits the mosque to be closed temporarily for demolition and rebuilding. Resident congregants perform Friday prayers at the Madrasah Al Kuliyyah Kiyai Haji Sohali building until a contrary announcement is made. The congregation must be informed beforehand, and the district kadi makes announcements on the last Friday at the old mosque and the first Friday at the madrasah. The old fittings are kept for the new mosque or offered to nearby mosques, suraus and other institutions; if no one needs them or they risk damage or loss, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy permanent items in keeping with the waqf purpose.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masjid Jannatul Firdaus Kampung Sri Merlung, 83100 Rengit, Batu Pahat, Johor diberi kebenaran untuk ditutup buat sementara waktu, bagi memberi laluan kepada kerja-kerja meroboh dan membina semula masjid tersebut.
