Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted Surau An-Nur to be demolished to make way for construction of a new surau building. The old fittings should be kept for use in the new surau, and if not needed, offered to nearby mosques or suraus, then to madrasahs, balai surau, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If no one needs them and keeping them would damage the items, risk their loss or there is no storage space, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans, preserving the purpose of the endowment for that surau.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
