Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the demolition of Surau Parit Unas so that a new surau building can be constructed. The old fittings must be kept for the new surau, and if not needed they are offered to nearby mosques or suraus, then to madrasahs, balai surau, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If nobody needs them, or they would be damaged, lost or cannot be stored, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy durable items for the new surau, preserving the purpose of the endowment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
