Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the demolition of Kampung Parit Masjid Mosque in Pontian to make way for a new mosque building. Resident congregants perform Friday prayer temporarily at the village community hall until a contrary announcement is made, with declarations by the district kadi on the last Friday at the old mosque and the first Friday at the hall. Old fittings are kept for the new mosque, or offered to nearby mosques, surau, madrasah or Islamic welfare centres if not needed. If nobody needs them and they risk damage or loss, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy permanent items for the new mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masjid Kampung Parit Masjid, Pontian, Johor diberi kebenaran untuk dirobohkan bagi memberi laluan kepada pembinaan bangunan masjid baru.
