Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that demolishing and rebuilding this mosque is permissible under Islamic law until a contrary declaration is made. Daily prayers and Friday prayers move temporarily to the Balai Islam of the same mosque, with declarations by the district kadi on the last Friday at the old mosque and the first Friday at the hall. Old fittings should be kept for the new mosque, or offered to nearby mosques, suraus, madrasahs, student hostels or the Islamic Welfare Centre if not needed. If no one needs them and they risk damage or loss, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items for the new mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
