Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that demolishing and rebuilding a KAFA classroom building is permissible in order to accommodate a growing number of students. The existing building is classed as waqf, so its materials must be disposed of according to the rules for waqf property. Usable materials are reused in the new classrooms or given to another building in need as waqf material. If none needs them, they are sold to a person of age and sound mind, with the proceeds used for the waqf building. Unusable materials may be buried or left on the site or on other waqf land, and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
